Everywhere I go, I have the privilege of meeting so many wonderful people in the River District. I so enjoy the grassroots campaigning of attending events and always look forward to being invited to meet and greets, parades, and BBQs. There is never enough time to meet everyone and try to be at every single event. That is what's great about our area- every weekend in the summer there are events that people can enjoy. With 20 towns and 2 cities in this district, there is a lot of ground to cover.
I appreciate invitations to events, group meetings, and any place where there is a gathering of people so I can have the opportunity to meet and them and talk to them about their concerns. I will try to announce here on my blog where I will be going so people can have the chance to see me. I know that this week, I'll be in Gouverneur on Wednesday for some meetings and then get to walk around the Fair. On Thursday, I will be participating in a candidates forum in Clayton. We're also finalizing plans for the weekend and will that up on this blog too.
Of course, those are just the public events. I am in a lot of meetings and doing other campaign related work on the days I am not scheduled to be somewhere. Campaigning is truly a full time job, and I thank everyone who has helped me coordinate appearances, walk with me in parades, and set up meet and greets and house parties for me. If I miss an event that you would have liked me to have been at, please know that its only because of keeping a busy schedule and not because I didn't value that event any less. For example, I had too many conflicts to get to the Waddington parade. I hope I can come to Waddington for a special event soon and get the chance to say hello to folks I missed. The same goes for every part of the district. As the campaign races towards Fall, we'll be out and about more and more. That is my favorite part of the campaign - coming to your neighborhood and talking about issues you care about most. You'll hear about my ideas and solutions as well.
Take care and I'll see you on the campaign trail,
-Addie

I came here for more information about you. I met your competition last night at a 9/11 ceremony in Waddington and had a nice chat with him. This will be at least the second time he has been here. Where have you been?
My blog is new and is called Small Town America: We're not as dumb as you think.
I look forward to you making your way northward.
Please visit my blog to find out how my chat with Bobby Cantwell went.

Small Town America,
Sorry that I missed you in my trips to Waddington. Send me your info to: addie@addie08.com. I would love to meet you to talk about why I am running for the 118th River District Assembly seat and talk about my platform. I look forward to hearing from you.
