You might as well ignore what Alex had to say about my ‘driving’. I think I am doing a lot better than what she will ever admit…I am still learning we all make mistakes at one point and time. Anyway, On to campaign stuff… Yesterday we went to Crystal Falls for a Fall Festival. We had a booth set up with signs set up for McCain/Palin, Tom Casperson, & of course… my Papa, John Larson. It was very nice to finally get to see Crystal Falls a little bit closer, I have always thought it was a pretty town whenever we drove through. Unfortunately, it was rainy & kind of chilly. Not the best weather for an outdoor festival, but people still came out to see the booths & eat some of the great food people were selling. 
 
On Thursday, we got up early to go & here Chief Justice Cliff Taylor speak at MTU before we headed to Marquette so TV6 could interview my Papa. It was worth getting up earlier than normal to hear what Justice Taylor had to say. He told us some of what his job consists of and the kinds of cases that the Michigan Supreme court deals with. It is important that he gets elected again because if he doesn’t get elected, it will change the makeup of the court to a liberal majority. Well that is a little of what we have been up to recently.

Wow!  It has been a very busy couple of months for this campaigning family!  We got into this campaign thinking it would be a great opportunity & a learning experience, & it truly has been.  It is interesting to see all that goes on.  We started this whole thing getting lots of mail.  Kylee & I were hoping it was for us (*he,he,he*), but as the weeks passed, we found most of the mail was for ‘John Larson’.  The mail that came to the house was 3/4 of the time surveys to look at.  Lots & lots of filling-out paper work for my dad! Then there was the phone-calls & door-to-door walking.  We aren’t well-known by everyone, so our focus has been on spreading the word about who is running against Mike Lahti.  Now we’re not getting as many surveys, but we have switched to a new avenue of the campaign road……Going to events!  It is fun to go & meet new people from the different counties & see what they are celebrating & learn a little about the history of the different areas/events.  Hopefully when we’re traveling to these different activities, we’ll be able to see more ‘John Larson for Representative’ signs in peoples yards!  We were really excited to get our signs!!!  They are so cool!!  We even put a big sign on the hill in Hancock, across from the Portage Lake Lift Bridge!  We have a sign at the end of our driveway & so far it is doing good.  By this I mean Kylee, who took Driver’s Ed this summer, hasn’t managed to hit as she turns into the driveway!  Me, being the ‘Highly- Experienced’ driver that I am, wouldn’t dream of hitting that sign!  But Kylee, she’s another story…….
 
HEY!!!  I wasn’t the one who took that turn at 50 miles an hour when SOMEONE was learning to drive….I won’t name any names because that would be rude, (but I can still give hints:)
 
ANYWAY…..
 
We’re going to be on the road to M.T.U tomorrow to hear Judge Taylor speak….. Then we head to Marquette for a TV 6 interview!!  We’ll keep you informed!

John Larson’s daughter, Alex was doing some work for her father’s campaign, for the 110th State Representative seat, at a friends home and they came up with this fun list of Campaign Slogans that were not chosen for her father’s campaign.

Alex and Kylee Larson will be providing updates to this blog during the campaign and hope you come back often to see what is new and that you enjoy their perspective of John’s race. (no wonder it took so long for them to complete the campaign task - SMILE)

Here is their first blog submission:

10.) Vote for Larson, he’s not Canadian, Eh?
9.) It’s always good to have a John around.
8.) If you don’t elect him, his kids will get picked on at school (ha, ha!)
7.) Arson bad! Larson good!
6.) Even his Mother-in-Law is voting for him.
5.) Vote for Larson and all of your wildest dreams will come true.
4.) Johnny Carson worked late nights in Hollywood. John Larson will work late nights in Lansing
3.) If you elect Larson, you won’t have to drive to Lansing every week paying $4 a gallon for gas; he will.
2.) Vote for: a. John Larson b. John Larson c. John Larson d. All of the above
1.) Vote for John Larson because the students in his class at school are tired of getting detentions!

I want to take a moment to welcome you to the Blog for John Larson in his run for the 110th State Representative District. Please bookmark this site and come back often as we keep everyone informed about his race. It is our hope that you will join in the fun but hard work involved in a political campaign.

Thanks for stopping by!
