Why financially support my campaign?

Effective Use of Campaign Resources

Your donations will be used mostly for marketing mailings to those who share our commonsense values no matter what their official party affiliation. There are registered voters who do not want to hear from people with our viewpoints. I have data that shows me clearly who they are. There are a vast majority of voters across all party lines, including Democrats, who will vote for me. I will focus my time and your resources on the people who will vote for me if I reach out to them rather than wasting my time and your resources bothering those people who do not want to hear from us.

Some like-minded voters have a low propensity to vote. We will reach out to these voters and encourage them to participate. Absentee ballots might be a good alternative for those voters. I will also use campaign contributions to reach out to absentee ballot requestors once their ballot is sent to them. In this case I will probably focus on weak democrats to explain to them why a vote for me is more in line with their values than many democratic candidates including, most-likely, whoever wins the Democrat primary for County Clerk.

Why volunteer for my campaign?

We all know that volunteers are crucial to campaigning. I appreciate every volunteer and I promise to make the most effective use of your valuable time!

If you only have a small amount of time available but would like to help reach out to fellow Republicans, please consider using the new Turning Point Action App. I put together a short tutorial to help get you started.
