I want to take this opportunity to thank the many people who helped me out during my state senate campaign.  This was a great experience that allowed me to meet many new friends and visit exiting new places (Luminary, TN: google it.)

First I want to thank my family, especially my wife, and my employer for putting up with all of this for the last 6 months. It’s been great to travel with my children all over the district.

I also want to thank all of those who made phone calls, put up signs, stuffed envelopes and did all those tasks required for a seven county campaign. 

A special thanks to all those who donated the money which made it possible to run.

Thanks to those organizations who sponsored candidate forums which included: Franklin County GOP, Warren County GOP, Coffee County GOP, Franklin County COC, Manchester COC, & WMSR radio.

Thanks also to the other 5 candidates who ran.  I have an even greater respect now for all candidates.

Congratulations to Mike Niederhauser (R) and Eric Stewart (D), the winners of their parties nominations.

I look forward to supporting our good Republican candidates in the November elections.

Thanks & good luck to all…

P.S. Alas, the peril of being specific. I left out the TV forum sponsored by the Grundy County Republican Party.  One of the best events we had. Thanks to Michelle who points it out in the comments.
