Fergus County Democratic Central Committee

Hi folks! 46 days to go, and another campaign, and hopefully a win, will be in the bag!! I am Tracey Miller Karcher, your intrepid candidate for HD-37 and I am full of hope and gratitude. The support in donations is rolling in!! Thank you so very much for believing in me, and in what we hope to accomplish together!

I am bursting with love and gratitude, and excited to announce that I have been endorsed by Carol's List, Montana Women helping Montana women win! Carol's list is an all-volunteer independent political committee which exists to help Democratic women run for the Legislature and win.

As we move into these last days of the campaign, I will be using these donations to host events, pay for radio and newspaper advertisements, and the print material we will need for door to door canvassing.

I will continue to be present at the Lewistown Farmers Market on Saturdays to speak to people and answer questions, I will continue to canvass businesses, introducing myself and listening to small business owners, on October 5th we will be hosting a "Town Hall" lunch at The Yogo, with Deanna Daigrepont, candidate for SD-19, and Alani Bankhead, candidate for one of two Montana US Senate seats. More information will be forthcoming as soon as we have all the details.

After the mail-in ballots go out on October 9th, the door to door canvassing begins! I know that gas is expensive, politics sucks, and the weather might be frightful! But together we are already making a difference! This isn't about winning or losing, although I really want to win! This is about speaking up for what is right, defending our country and our constitutions from all threats, foreign and domestic, and safeguarding the future of our children and grandchildren.

If you would like to join us with boots on the ground in our effort to Get Out The Vote, we would be ever so grateful for the help. You've heard of "Many hands make light work?" Well, many feet make smaller canvassing blocks!

One last thing, I know things are bad and the future of our nation looks bleak. However! The worse things get before this election, the better this election will go for us!! I love you all and will see you soon, somewhere!
