How It Started, How It’s Going

Phase 1: Ask people to sign my petition to get on the ballot.

Phase 2: Get elected.

Created using the Donation Thermometer plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/donation-thermometer/.Signatures: 6,018Raised Signatures: 6,018 towards the Signatures: 6,018 target.Signatures: 6,018Raised Signatures: 6,018 towards the Signatures: 6,018 target.100%

Every day I ask people to sign the form that allows me to get on the ballot. My goal is 10,000 signatures. That way I have far more than is needed because the Election Office will undoubtedly reject some of them for being unreadable or invalid [1].

How many signatures do I need? I've been saying 7,000 but it's hard to know for sure. So my stretch goal is 10,000.

I'll keep this post updated. And if you can help, please consider volunteering.

    Mr. Slaughter,
    I met you yesterday at the ribbon cutting at Financial Builders Federal Credit Union in Kokomo. We had the opportunity to talk for a few minutes and I wish you well in your efforts for election to Congress. Unfortunately, I mostly spoke to you about the current state of the Credit Union industry and the increasingly tough competitive and regulatory environment we exist in. I took the time when I got home to visit your website to better understand your positions on what I feel are the voters in central Indiana focus on. I was impressed by the number of topics you addressed, but I am left wondering if there are one or two main issues you would address specifically that we can rally around on a National, State and Local level that resonates with voters in a way (other than being an outsider) to differentiate you from the major party candidates. Rhetoric is a wonderful tool. I use it all the time in my position as Board Chair at the Credit Union. I find that actual solutions to issues is a lot more challenging. I look forward to hearing more from you as your campaign gains momentum.

    Good luck and best regards,

    Terry Coolbaugh
