January 1 Campaign Update

Hello Friends,

Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you happy and well in 2009.

The primary election for the Guthrie City Council Ward 1 seat is just six short weeks away, and we are getting geared up to start heavy campaigning next week. So many folks have already offered volunteer support, words of encouragement, advice, and even campaign contributions! It is heartening to know so many are as eager as I am to make Guthrie a better place.

The yard signs have arrived and they are starting to appear around town. Next week, I’ll begin walking the neighborhoods in Ward 1. I hope to meet and chat with as many voters as possible before the first election.

The website and blog are up and running. I hope you’ll check them out and let me know what you think. At the site, you’ll find a calendar of events, my stance on some of the issues facing Guthrie, news, and information how you can support the campaign.

If you live in Guthrie, don’t forget to vote on February 10. If you’re outside Guthrie, there are still several ways to show your support.

  • Let people know about my campaign by linking to the website: woodforguthrie.blogspot.com.

  • Walk the ward with me or help make get out the vote calls

  • Write a letter to the editor or provide a testimonial for the website

  • Make a donation to underwrite campaign expenses


Thank you again for your support in this exciting endeavor.

Yours,
John R. Wood
