The election is March 18</font><font size="2"><sup>th</sup></font><font size="3">, 2014. My application will be supported
by petitions containing over 1,000 signatures from you and our fellow citizens
in the district, comfortably exceeding the requirement of 733. If you had a
chance to sign, thanks for doing so. If you also collected signatures, added
and heartfelt thanks.</font></div><o:p style="margin: 3pt 0in;"></o:p></span><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">

benefitted from about $2,600 in contributions from about 50 individuals, with a

hundreds of individuals over the past three months have only reinforced my
belief in the need for a campaign such as this. My message will continue to be
that of an insurgent campaign within the Democratic Party, representing its

prescribed candidates, including my two main opponents.</font><o:p></o:p></span></div><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
