Campaigning is over. I stepped the last sign in my inventory into a lawn in Haddow at about 5:15pm, and then had to run my volunteers back to HQ. I hit two more doors after that: my neighbours across the street, whose son Paul has been a huge help, and become a good friend; and Alex Khan, president of my community league, who gave me a lot of encouragement early on.
Then we ate superb chili prepared by new campaign friends whose contribution to today’s big push was to feed my little army of volunteers. Speaking of whom, they all pulled together—as we all have since the beginning—and we knocked on 1889 doors today.
If we pull this off tomorrow, and I think there is every likelihood we will, it will have been the hard work and support of my indispensable, wonderful, inspiring volunteers that made the difference.
