We Win and Many Thanks to ALL!

Our campaign was a winner! I appreciate all the work from SO MANY people who came in and helped us get over the top---my wife Michelle, Elle (she came out of the bullpen at 5 pm and was my closer!) Jeff Kerrigan, campaign manager and I'll have a longer list later because I'm wiped out!

We won some and lost some on all levels. I wish the winners the best as we seek to move our communities and nation forward....

  • Thanks for the congrats.

    From a Campaign Manager’s perspective, I found some very real benefits to using the blog.

    1. Foremost, blogging is essentially free. Paying a webmaster to update a static website every time your candidate wants to say something is not. Even if you have a volunteer webmaster, there is a delay in getting the message out that the blog overcame.

    2. Thanks to you and others, our campaign was highlighted as being technologically progressive for blogging. In a race where advances in technology are central, this was helpful.

    3. Part of Jeff’s appeal and message in the campaign is that he is accessible, friendly and responsive. I think the very nature of the blog accentuated this.

    I’m not sure how measurable these are. We also can’t be clear about how many people saw or read the blog, but it turned out to be part of a winning combination.

    Thanks,
    Jeff Kerrigan

  • Absolutely wonderful campaign, Jeff. I know you'll do a great job as Register of Deeds, for a while, that is. I fully intend to say one day, "Yes, Senator Thigpen is a friend of mine!"

  • Thanks for the comments. To Ed, yes I'll be bloggin in office! I'll have to get into a regular routine. The next several weeks will be very busy with the appointment of a new commmissioner for District 6.

    I appreciate your support and encouragement along the way. I'll have some new posts in the next few days.

    Take care, Jeff

  • Jeff you will always be Skip's little puppet.I hope your not proud of the election win due to the way you won it.I would hate to think being under Skip Alston's thumb is the only way I could win.Your win is pitiful when you consider how you accomplished it.
