Hey folks. Although I am unopposed this year for Law Director, I don’t want anyone to think I take my election for granted. I have yard signs that we are going to place for just the last 14 days of the election.
No pressure, as I assume that many folks may be getting yard-sign fatigue at this point. We will place – and pick-up ASAP after the election.
Just text me at 216-470-8098 if you want one, or just email me at michael@moshea.com if that is easier.
Keep the faith. Be safe and well. Thanks.
From the Party Affairs Director, Belynda J. Wesley
With just 19 days left until Election Day, it’s time to unite and finalize our strategies to engage with as many voters as possible in this crucial final push.
