Political observer gives Kelley for Council a fighting chance

Today’s opinion column by longtime columnist and politics watcher Lindon Dodd published in the News and Tribune gives odds for some of the local races. He rates Kelley’s chances at 3:1, but her opponent Mike Smith’s at 2:1.

On the surface, this isn’t the best of campaign news. However, Dodd’s reasoning is interesting and the implication, if he is correct, is very important: WE NEED YOU!!!!

There is every reason to trust Dodd’s assessment. Kelley’s opponent is an incumbent Democrat in a Democrat-leaning district. There’s no doubt the Galligan machine has been at work within the district collecting absentee ballots and encouring voters to cast a straight Democrat ticket.

But all this can be overcome with a good turnout for Kelley on Election Day.

Please help make this happen. If you live in the district, make sure you get out and VOTE! If you have friends or family in the district, make sure they get out and VOTE and are informed about Kelley’s candidacy. If they need a ride, please provide it or give Kelley a call at 812-207-3416 to arrange one.

We’re close to doing what Dodd believed was impossible just a few months ago. Your support has been essential in getting us this far, and it is deeply appreciated. Please help us bring it into the home stretch.

LET’S DO THIS!!!
