August 25th: State Fair Update

Tim was a guest on KSTP “Garage Logic” Radio today. Joe Soucheray, Mayor of Garage Logic USA, took a few minutes of his State Fair show to have Tim as a guest. Joe provided the Political Grill test and Tim missed only one answer. Joe responded with “you still pass with one answer incorrect”.

At the end of the interview, Joe wished Tim good luck on the campaign. Tim became so nervous he forgot to have a picture taken while being interviewed by Joe. Therefore, for your pleasure, we took an on air picture of Joe and the Garage Logic staff. You can listen to the complete interview here.

You can catch Tim any Sunday afternoon for the rest of the campaign season at 42nd and Central. Stop by, shake Tim’s hand, share some campaign moments, and bring your tanning lotion and camera for photos. The best campaign support is to tell others of our campaign. Sign up today on our website for yard signs and hosting a house party.

August 16th 2008

Our first official Saturday bus road trip through House District 50-A had several adventures. Wes provided the driving skills today and provided Tim plenty of opportunity to exit the bus and give out stickers and literature to folks we came across.

We made stops at a community cookout, cruised through several local mall parking lots, visibly but quietly meandered through several Fridley neighborhoods, and finally stopped across the street at Target. At Target our bus battery chose to give up and die on us. I contacted my emergency services center, my wife Nadine, who came to our rescue with jumper cables.

While making our stop replenishing the fuel tank on the bus at Bobby and Steve's Auto World, we meet an enthusiastic group of future voters from Columbia Heights High School. They were spending the day fundraising for equipment at school. Our last stop at David's Auto for battery replacement and an oil change completed the Saturday adventure.

This Saturday we are out on the campaign trail again starting at 10:00 AM. You are invited to join in and support our campaign. As always every campaign has costs including our adventuresome run for the House District 50-A. You can contribute on line today or send a check. All donations are welcome and appreciated, especially after we replace the battery and get an oil change. See you all on the campaign trail.
