100 Days To Go! **
In that you have all been so supportive of my run for the House of Delegates, I thought I’d give you a look inside the campaign. The best part? The staff, organizers, interns, and volunteers! Their enthusiasm keeps me energized!
They knock doors!
They make calls!
They are organized!
Then there are the folks I get to meet along the way,
the friends who volunteer to canvass for me,
and meeting the Lieutenant Governor was pretty great, too!
And of course, you already know about the beauty of the 12th District.
All in all, the positives far outweigh the challenges! Thanks for your words of encouragement and support!
** You probably know that I am a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, and when providing care for pregnant women, we calculate their gestational age based on their last menses, which gives us their EDC (their “due date”). At the beginning of this campaign, I decided to consider Election Day, November 3rd, my due date! Based on that, I am 26 weeks into my campaign gestation! Hee hee! Gotta have a little humor, right? **

Your “gestational time clock” is ticking away!!! LOL!! (and so is the summer….;-(
Yes it is! I remember thinking that Election Day seemed so far away … and now it’s less than 100. WOW!
Watch out for the stork 😀
Believe me, I will!!
Dodgy things, storks..
What an awesome team Laurie!
They really are! Such hard workers, very smart, and lots of fun, too
LOL! Brilliant post, Laurie! Great pic of you with the Lt. Gov 🙂 Here’s to a rockin’ third trimester!!
You make me laugh out loud, Stacy!! Bring it on!
My goal is to be as funny as Emilio 😉
Ha ha! I love your humor! You do seem to have a “glow” about you… you GO girl!! 🙂
Ah, that gestational “glow”!
Too funny, Lori!
Looking forward to the delivery of great news down the track Laurie, what a great team!
I’m having so much fun with everyone’s comments … glow, third trimester, delivery.
Such clever and fun blogger friends I have 🙂
What happy looking people you have supporting you Laurie – seeing these pics makes me happy all the way over here! You are holding up under all these different activities extremely well – pregnancy, new job, photographing and blogging – and keeping all the balls in the air successfully! Wowser – LB for president!!
What an awesome team of cheerleaders I have!
Thank you, my friend, for your never ending support!
You know people believe in you when they show up to volunteer their time. I’m so impressed by your organization LB. Albeit with the help of many, every team needs a strong leader. High-five for your enthusiasm, community spirit and hard work. I can’t wait to have the opportunity to watch you make a difference in the House of Delegates!. xo Just keep swimming!
Big, BIG credit goes to the team. My campaign manager Nichole is the epitome of organization!! And Andrew (my Field Director, not my son Andrew) is as well. So glad they believed in my potential and jumped on board Laurie Buchwald for Delegate!
Thanks for your belief in me!! XOXO
What a great team you have there!! Good luck, Johanna
They are indeed a great team, Johanna! I am grateful they jump on board the campaign bandwagon! Thanks for your good wishes!
I was wondering how that was going! Sounds like you have a great team. I’ll be anxiously awaiting the outcome and sending you lots of good vibes and best wishes.
Hi Deborah! Thank you for those good wishes! I surely need them. 84 more days 🙂
You just gotta. Good luck, once more
Derrick, I surely do welcome your good luck wishes!
Thank you!
You are having fun and that should be noted too!
It seems a very good sign that those around you are always smiling in your presence, Laurie! All the best, Rona
What a delight to see all these people supporting you for delegate. Friends and volunteers and even the Lt. Governor are in your corner. I’m glad you’re in the home stretch so to speak, though I know a lot of work lies ahead. I wish I was in your state to help canvas. I’m so incredible proud to say I know you. xox
They look like a great group to have on your team. PLUS, they are all young and I love surrounding myself with youthful energy, so I hope it’s energizing you as well. You even have community members pitching in, and gathering with you – it must be an amazing ride, Laurie.
