Pleasantly surprised...

First let me apologize for my lack of posts on the campaign blog and other media. Right now the campaign is focused on gaining a nomination to appear on the ballot in November, the independent campaign's version of a primary season.

While we have been out meeting voters I must say I have been encouraged by the positive response; people are genuinely thirsting for a candidate that represents the moderate center of American politics. I must also admit that even the die hard Democrats and Republicans have pleasantly surprised us. The people of Fort Collins never cease to amaze and I am very happy to be working for such a district.

As soon as we complete our petition to get on the ballot in early June we will set our sights on winning in November, but until then please look at the recently updated policy section on the campaign website. After listening to people's concerns about where our state is headed I wanted to go more in-depth about policy for those who crave better answers and are tired of the rhetoric they get fed year after year.

On a personal note I wanted to say thank you to all those who have opened your doors to us, it has been an unexpectedly inspiring journey and with any luck we will continue to bring out the best in each other.
