Hey Jason – though I disagree with you on many political issues, I wish you nothing but the best. I place a higher priority on civility, consideration and character than the issues – based on these, I’d vote for you if I could. Good luck.
Thank you, Locke. I really appreciate what you’ve said. Good luck to you, too!
Hey Jason – I wish you the best in your campaign, you will not only have my support, but I will make sure to get my friends and family involved as well! This is a breath of fresh air after the steaming pile of bad news I received for my birthday. Best of luck!

Thank you very much, Galen! We will be in touch.
Hi Jason! Best of luck on continuing with the progressive leadership from your district. I wish I could vote for you but live on the wrong side of Oklahoma. I’ll do what I can to assist your effort! Mark Gill – Bay View EcoVillage
And thank you too, Mark! Talk to you soon.
That’s fantastic, Jason! If you need help with anything, I’m willing to volunteer some of my time, and what little I have in the way of talents.
You go, cousin! I’m proud of you.
Excellent !
