Another Important Member of the Campaign Team:



The Story Behind Scott's Walking Shoes...

Doorbelling homes throughout the 46th legislative district is an important part of this community based campaign. After five years of leadership as Chair of the 46th District Democrats, the grassroots honored me with a generous gift certificate which I used to purchase a sturdy pair of walking shoes. One of the best ways I can honor your trust and serve you--the citizens and grassroots of the 46th LD--is to go door-to-door to listen and discuss issues that matter to YOU!!!
