CHALLENGE: $380 in 7 days! Help the only Democratic County Commissioner in Missaukee County (Michigan).

On Tuesday, November 4th, history was made in Missaukee County. I was fortunate enough to defeat a Republican incumbent for County Commissioner in the second most Republican county in the state of Michigan. However, as with many campaigns, I have debt to pay off, and several final expenses to pay. I need to raise $380 in 7 days. Can I count on you? Making a contribution is easier than ever.

“Richard REALLY knows his stuff and has specific plans for improving his county.”

As I was quoted in our local daily, the Cadillac News, following my victory...

"The voters...have made a determination that the status quo is no longer acceptable, that we expect more accountability, greater openness, and transparency in county government."

Democracy for Missorui conducted the last of three Primary Candidate Forums last evening...this time in Fulton MO. Despite steady rain all day...we had a fair turnout and really good coverage in the local paper.

Here it is as reported on our Democracy for Missouri website where there is a link to the Fulton Sun front page coverage. They give a nod to Democracy for America, but save most of the ink for debate issues.
