On behalf of Courtney Geels, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to the success of her campaign and sticking with us this far. It's not over yet!
As September draws to an end we have a lot of work still left to do before voting begins October 20! Door knocking and booths at festivals are proving to be very successful as we talk to people. Once they hear about Courtney, many have said "Well now I will definitely vote!" They may not have otherwise. Some say they don't know anything about her, but they said they have seen her signs. It then gives us an opportunity to tell them about her. Many have said, "Is she the nurse?" Name recognition is important and we are reaching people through door knocking, mailers, phone calling, manning booths at festivals, putting out signs, community outreach, and networking which is ongoing through November 8. All of these things come at a cost. The cost of finances, time and energy. We know we still have to sacrifice these things. Did you know that a 30 second commercial on a Sunday afternoon costs $5000.00? You can be sure that Valerie Foushee will be airing her commercials soon! Can I be so bold as to ask each one of you to donate $20 or more even if you have contributed in the past so that she can get a commercial on prime time TV? Together, we can have an impact!

Thank you to those who are already signed up. We need so many more of you to step up and say "YES, I will sacrifice my time to hand out Courtney's cards!" According to Bryan Geels, "We saw that it moved the percentage toward Courtney between 3-5% points at every place we had someone standing at the primaries." That is huge, especially in blue counties. Please contact your county coordinator OR me ASAP to sign up before someone calls you! Poll training is available via Google Meet from Courtney if you are interested in that. We will send you the link to join the training if you like. NO NEED TO FEAR!
