6. update as we had our first meet and greet with Betsy

My wife and I attended a local meet and greet with Betsy just a few blocks from out home. I will say if first impressions are an indicator of a person, my first impression of Betsy is she is the real deal who can take on the likes of our current Rep Rodney Davis and beat him. I had a 10 minute conversation with her and she knows stuff. She can articulate and think. I had another 10 minute conversation with her husband who is a longtime good friend of one my good friends from Springfield. I am as impressed with him as I am with his wife. The last time I can say this happened is when Obama ran for Senate and we were at a phone-in meet and greet with he and his wife Michelle. And after Michelle ended her part, I told my wife, these people are the real deal. We never looked back and did all we could to see him elected as our senator and as our president both times.

Betsy Dirkesen Londrigan is exactly who we need representing us. And we will do all we can to make it happen. I'm scheduling a meeting with her campaign manager and field operations manger in next few weeks to discuss making this happen.
