Campaigning

I started campaigning in earnest this week. Washington County's Democratic chairperson, Sheila Comar, was kind enough to take me out and introduce me to several prominent Granville Democrats this week. Several people said they would put my sign up, which is much appreciated. The signs arrive next Tuesday, so I'll be eager to get them out.

Last night JD and I attended a delicious turkey dinner at the United Methodist Church in North Granville. We met some neighbors - hi to the Leahy's - and bumped into some friends like Phil and Bunny Hodge from Hartford. Phil is my hay supplier, and it's always great to see him. We bumped into a family friend - JD's sister's good friend Sally, who was enjoying the meal as well. Great people, great food, and a very nice time.

After the dinner I headed south to Moreau for an interview with the Glens Falls Labor Council, who is considering endorsing me. Met fellow Granville resident Patty Goyette, Saratoga County Democratic chair Larry Bulman, and several other local union presidents. It turns out the format of this event was not what I had expected, but I did my best considering I was not prepared for an 8-person interview. Coming from a family of union workers (my husband is a member of IAFF 2230, local firefighters), I believe in the importance of unions and am supportive of their work. I'll have to wait and see if the Labor Council feels I can help their cause.
