Robert’s Update

Absentee voting has begun, early voting is not far behind, and Election Day is 29 days away! This means, it’s more important than ever we get the message out to the voters in our community. I know we have a lot of people who are still getting educated or may not be aware of who’s running and what’s at stake. We need to fix that and the time is now!

Over the next four weekends we will be out in full force knocking on doors. This is the most effective way for the campaign to connect – but I need your help! If you can sacrifice anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, I urge you to please sign up for one or more of our Super Saturdays – help us reach people at their homes- by clicking here! We all know what is at stake. If we are going to work together with our local communities and partner agencies to continue to make Meridian one of the best places to live, work and raise a family, it starts next Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

Later this week we will be filing our first financial disclosure form for the campaign. I want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed financially toward our efforts to date. There is a broad base of support from businesses, families, individuals, and community leaders showing support for my vision for the future of the community. My supporters know how critical this election is and that we need solid, proven leadership

I am humbled by your support and the efforts many of you have devoted to the campaign. There are no words so I will continue to say THANK YOU!  But if we stop now, then all our efforts to date may not be enough. So please, consider getting out of your comfort zone, giving up a few hours on your Saturday, and help get the word out! Your assistance, your support, your voice are critical to Meridian’s future! #SimisonForMeridian

Five Ways to Help NOW

• If you haven’t made a donation to the campaign yet, we need your help! We want to get 500 people to donate $19 each (yes, that is $38 a couple and counts for 2, as long as we can tell it is from 2 people). You can make a donation by clicking here or by mailing a check,  payable to Simison for Meridian, to PO Box 971, Meridian, ID 83680.
• Sign up to receive a yard sign. We will be placing our order soon and want to make sure we order enough. You can email the campaign here with your address, and we will make sure you are added to the list.
• Write a Letter to the Editor. We are already coordinating letters to the editor so we can get them submitted leading up to the election. Email the campaign here and we will follow-up with a very easy template for you to use.
• Sign up to vote absentee. Email the campaign here and we will help you get your ballot early.
• We will have several needs coming up as early as September. We will need teams of people to help put up large signs, deliver yard signs, help call voters, door knock neighborhoods, and so much more. Submit a volunteer form here and show Robert how you are willing to help support his campaign.
