10. Everyone who writes about politics should have to run for office at least once.
9. Pepper Pike residents are our best resource.
8. Your “big tent” is defined by the entire population in the community whose government you hope to serve.
7. Stick to your campaign plan. NO MATTER WHAT.
6. Yard signs don’t vote but people still get very excited when they see a lot of them around town.
5. Ask questions, get answers and THANK every “old hand” you know.
4. If you’re excited, other people will get excited.
3. I still love Pepper Pike – probably even more.
2. When given a quality choice, people want to vote and want to believe in voting and in our system.
1. I love my family.
