Our county coordinators and I just completed a 14-day swing through the District and I want to tell you all about the issues folks have on their minds.  It’s jobs, jobs and jobs.  Those fortunate to have a job want to keep more of what they earn – or at least not give up any more of what they earn in additional taxes.  They think someone with common sense who has experience running a small business will understand jobs and their impact on the local economy.  Simply said, they want to see practical experience in the state Senate.

Now I know many of you may think I’m just saying that because it sounds good, but today at McDonald’s in Eldon the lady helping me with coffee said, “Do you work for Mike Kehoe?” and I said, “Yes.”  She said, “Tell him I love my ‘05 Ford Escape, and that I will vote for him for state Senate – we need someone with some business sense.”  That’s a true story! (I did finally introduce myself after she gave me a hug and finished explaining how embarrassed she was.) 

The Leadership Express Crosses a Swinging Bridge in Miller County

I hear similar comments about job creation and the need for legislators with real world experience, whether I am in Mokane, St. Anthony, Latham, Wardsville, or Fulton – you name it, we have been there.  Our campaign believes that “common sense will lead you on a good path…” and this week we experienced it, literally, as our common sense campaign led us across the “swinging bridges” of Miller County.  If you have not been on a swinging bridge, I encourage you to visit Miller County and check it out for yourself. 

I have 2-3 county coordinators in each of our 5 counties, and they are doing a super job.  I would not be able to do this without a great team, and we have the best available.  I’ll be updating you every couple of weeks or so and highlighting these great people from all parts of the District who are helping us get our message out to their friends, families and neighbors every day.  

Our focus is laser-like, and our commitment is rock solid.  Thank you to those of you who have personally signed up and/or have committed your support to be a phone bank volunteer (thousands strong).  For those of you who are still studying this race, please take a look at our site www.mikekehoeforsenate.com where I think you’ll find answers to many of your questions.  If not, contact us and I’ll see what I can do to help you make an informed decision. 

Have a great week & God Bless,
