On the Campaign Trail

We had another great week on the campaign trail, connecting with voters on the doors and at events!

Weeknights and weekends are all about knocking doors, and Jake and campaign volunteers are out doing that rain or shine. The response so far on the doors is extremely positive, with a vast majority of voters indicating a desire for new leadership in the city. We'll continue our focus on knocking doors all the way to the end, because doors win wars.

We've been holding monthly campaign events starting with our campaign kickoff in January:

If you haven't gotten a chance to make it to one of these, we're about to announce our next campaign event in May -- and it's a big one! We'll be showcasing Jake's ideas on the policy front to tackle the problems facing the city, with some fun thrown in of course!

Speaking of May, Jake will be appearing at Slice of the City in all seven wards. Here's the complete schedule of these events, where residents have the opportunity to speak with their elected officials in an informal setting over free pizza:

• May 1: Ward 1 @ Chuckie Harris Playground (17 Cross Street East)
• May 5: Ward 4 @ Healey Schoolyard (5 Meacham Street)
• May 6: Ward 5 @ Trum Field Playground (1 Franey Road)
• May 12: Ward 3 @ Prospect Hill Park (68 Munroe Street)
• May 13: Ward 6 @ Powderhouse Park (Broadway & College Avenue)
• May 20: Ward 7 @ Lou Ann David Park (1060 Broadway)
• May 21: Ward 2 @ Lincoln Park (290 Washington Street)
