hi
I am here!
Hi there
Hi there
hi
hi there everyone!
how is the campaign going?
I am not sure I am doing this correctly, but how is the campaign going?
hi there to you too!
It's going well. I have had over 50 houseparties and really enjoy the enthusiasm around the opportunity our country has for real change.
I have been at it a year, but my election is on August 12th, just over 70 days away!

So the first thing that
So the first thing that comes to mind that I'd like to ask - there has been a lot of buzz lately about you putting in a lot of your own money into this election. Some have even gone so far as to accuse you of buying the election. how do you respond to these charges?
silly
No one except my opponents say these kinds of silly things, and most people I talk to are glad that in me they can a member of Congress who is not beholden to the special interests.
Support for campaign finance reform including public financing of campaigns is an important part of my agenda in Washington, and I look forward to changing the system.
