Just a little political endorsement one week prior to our next local elections.
First of all, please vote in the primaries. Your vote matters!
Secondly, please consider placing your vote for Jeff Smith, Democrat for Senate.
I've known Jeff for years, our fathers are long-time friends. As a kid, Jeff was high-energy - an excellent trait that he's harnessed to power his political campaigns. In 2004, Jeff came a close second to Russ Carnahan. Quite the feat for a 20-something guy with no previous political connections.
His campaigns are grassroots. He's frequently canvassing, door to door, sleeves rolled up and beaming. Leaving Forest Park a few weeks ago on a Saturday afternoon, I saw Jeff canvassing the big homes on Lindell.
He's managed to persuade a self-proclaimed Republican (my father) to support him, because of his beliefs and integrity, not because my Dad has known him since he was a kid.
Anyway, just a little endorsement and background information from yours truly. Please look at Jeff's website and think about voting for him on August 8th.
PS - There's also a documentary on his 2004 run called "Can Mr. Smith Get To Washington Anymore?" at the Tivoli through August 10th.

That's so neat that you know him! The hubby and I were big supporters in the last election.
