Only by working together can we bring founding principles, vision and fiscal sanity to Wicomico County. As an incumbent seeking her fourth term, my opponent is well established and well funded. She has her husband’s personal fortune to fall back on so I don’t expect to compete on that level. But the TEA party, at its core, is a grassroots movement and it is on that level we can shine. Here are some ways you can get involved.
1. Talk to your neighbors. Consider going door-to-door with campaign literature. If you can get a group of ten or fifteen of your neighbors together, let me know and I will personally come to talk to your group.
2. Put a sign in your yard. If you live along a major route, consider a larger sign (4’x4’). Name recognition is key.
3. Consider becoming a campaign coordinator for your town. I need one in Sharptown, Mardela, Quantico, Nithsdale, Whitehaven, Bivalve/Tyaskin, Fruitland and Allen
4. Plan to attend the town halls I will be running in the various locations in the district (Sharptown, the West Side, Quantico, Allen, Friutland, Mardela). These will be more than campaign events. I will be educating voters about the ideals and principles upon which our country was founded in addition to addressing specific county issues.
5. Support the campaign financially. Signs, literature, rentals for the town halls and advertising all cost money. If we are going to get our message out and force the argument about the cost and reach of government, we need to reach as many people as possible and I’m sure we will need to counteract the distortions and lies the establishment will use to try to defeat us.
