The Brunner Bounce
by David on 11.16.2009
In our campaign, we have the tendency to name as many things as we can with words that begin with "B." You can sign up to join the "Brunner Brigade," become a "Brunner Backer," or even host one of our "Brunner Barbeques."
This week, a new Quinnipiac poll released Thursday has people talking about a "Brunner Bounce." Jennifer has gained five percentage points since September 16th and her primary opponent has dropped two points, pulling Jennifer into a statistical tie in this race. Jennifer is clearly the candidate with the momentum as the primary vote draws closer. This is because so many of you have stepped up with contributions and monthly pledges that everyday Ohioans can afford--even in these times of slow economic recovery.
Jennifer's momentum is growing because she has been on the road all across the state, demonstrating her ability to connect with Ohio voters. People are responding to her message of bringing people together in a push for clean energy jobs partnered with Ohio's agricultural economy, her vision of retooling our cities' social and economic environments for locally produced energy and food, and her inspiring Innovation Tour for Ohio Jobs.
Ohioans appreciate that Jennifer understands government is for and about people. She has a solid record of getting things done--like cleaning up Ohio's elections and making business services available in Cleveland for all of northeast Ohio. She is a courageous and compassionate leader who is committed to improving Ohioans' lives.
Last weekend, the campaign began fielding canvassers in targeted regions around Ohio. Thanks to your support, we raised enough to train, equip, and deploy 56 canvassers for the next week. Your sponsorships supplied our volunteers with campaign literature, clipboards, pens, and walking-lists to help us spread the word about Jennifer, one voter at a time.
As much as Jennifer is willing to travel, she can not reach as many voters as we can--together--neighbor to neighbor, friend to friend. We have literally thousands of volunteers ready to hit the streets in their neighborhoods and around the state. All they need to get started is a little help from supporters like you.
We have set a goal to train and equip 200 canvassers before Thanksgiving. In order to do that, we need to raise another $3,600 THIS WEEK. Can you please give $25, $50, $100, or more to help us meet our goal?
Sincerely,
David Dettman
Campaign Manager
P.S. Your support adds to the bounce that will put Jennifer in the U.S. Senate working for all of us. Please consider sponsoring a canvasser today.
