Shawn Dingus - candidate for judge
here in Franklin County was able to
make it to my potluck as well. I was
more than happy to give him the
floor for a while to speak and answer
our questions. Most of us rarely if
ever, get the chance to hear about
the local candidates, so this was a
great opportunity to hear about him,
his background and what it would
mean to elect him as our judge.
Very nice guy. I think his being
there definitely earned him some
votes!

What a fantastic evening! My potluck was amazing! It all started with my spending the
day running around like a chicken with my head cut off preparing, but it turned out just
great! I was so happy! For the first time ever, people not only showed up on time, but
also early. Crazy, man!
All in all, I had about 27-28 people - including Mary Jo and Shawn. We had last-minute
additions and folks who accompanied our candidates (a must in any election cycle!) All
were welcome as we had a great chance to talk to Mary Jo and also to ask her several
questions on a variety of issues such as energy, education, the 2006 election, health
care, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, among other topics. She did a great job and
many of us who were going to vote for her or were thinking of it were made that much
more sure of our decision to do so. She did a great job answering questions - throwing
in examples of things she'd already done to back up her responses. Very impressive.
She's got some great ideas - that many of us share, so I look forward to her winning this
time around against Steve Stivers.
