Thus ends the 16 hour days of waving, door knocking, record keeping, sign posting, blog posting, etc., etc.  Believe or not, I will miss it.  It has been a great experience.  I have met hundreds of wonderful people and had a chance to engage many of you in great conversation.  We have talked about the many needs in our community and the possible solutions to those challenges.  It has been exciting and invigorating.

None of this would have been possible without the support of so many of you.  While I want to post this ‘thank you’ publicly, consider it simply a place holder.  I will be in personal touch with each and every one of you that allowed me the opportunity to pursue this dream.

To Senator Conway

My congratulations go out to you on the successful defense of your Senate seat.  The citizens of the 43rd legislative district have put their confidence in you to represent their issues in Annapolis.  As a citizen of the district, I offer my help to you.  Let’s make this district the best in Maryland.

Over the last few days a lot of attention media has been paid to the upcoming election and the Torres campaign. As always, it has been exciting to see the community’s interest and support.  The Johns Hopkins Newsletter published an article covering the high level of their students’ involvement in our campaign and interest in seeing real leadership in the 43rd. Check it out here.

Also, blogger and examiner.com writer Adam Meister, who expressed his support of the campaign late last month, published further information about Conway’s campaign financing. In the post, Conways’ connections to special interests, problem liquor stores and unethical community members come even further into light–check it out here:

If you didn’t get a chance to see the candidate close-up story aired by WBAL-TV last night, here is a link to the video.  Stay tuned for more news about the campaign.  Be sure to check the blog often as we approach election day, Tuesday, September 14th.

Friends,

Please click HERE to provide your availability for election day, that way our Field Director can communicate with you and get you outfitted in a Team Torres t-shirt for the big day!

Hector needs you on Tuesday the 14th.  Please give one day to make our friend and colleague Hector Torres a Senator.

-Team Torres

The campaign seems to be moving at incredible speed toward election day.  It is only a week away.  As we continue to canvass neighborhoods and wave to neighbors at various intersections, we can sense a very positive pulse to our efforts.   Our biggest hurdle now is our election day effort.

If you haven’t had a chance to get actively involved in our campaign you can still add a lot of value to it.  On election day, we hope to have volunteers at each and every polling place in the district.  Please consider donating time to the Torres team.  Spend your Tuesday, September 14th with us and help bring positive change to our city.  Even if you can’t give us the entire day, a few hours in the early morning or early evening, greeting voters at the polls, will help our efforts.  We’ll even provide you with one of the very trendy Torres t-shirts you’ve seen on the website.  Please contact our field coordinator at max@torresmaryland.com and let him know your hours of availability, any preferred polling location in the district, and any other relevant information.  We truly appreciate your support!
