Just finished with my speech for TV Cogeco this morning. For those who don’t know, TV Cogeco has provided candidates during elections an opportunity to present something about them for 3 minutes.
Speaking in front of a large group of people seems intimidating but it seems worse when its just you and a large camera aiming right at you. I will provide the text of that speech when all the candidates are finished (I don’t want to give any of the candidates any help 🙂 )
Last night was a late one as I received a number of calls and emails about missing signs on some of the routes around town. Thanks to everyone who has kept an eye, and will continue to keep an eye on my signs for the remainder of the campaign. I’ll be checking in with Town Hall to see if any of the signs went against the Milton by-law (as far as I know they didn’t)
Speaking of signs, if you would like one for your lawn, email me mike@mikecluett.ca and I or a member of my campaign team will be out shortly to put it on your property. As Ive mentioned before lawn signs serve a number of purposes.
First they let people know there’s an election going on. Despite having a number of articles in the local paper, there are still some people who are unaware of the town’s elections on the 25th. Part of the job as a candidate is to let everyone know when its happening, and to let them know where they can vote (hopefully for Mike Cluett)
Secondly they show your friends and neighbours that you are engaged in the community and are supporting one or more of the candidates running. As you drive around Ward 6 you will see a growing number of signs on lawns as I hit the doors and talk with people directly.
Thank you to those who have taken a sign. Be sure to tell your neighbours about me, what I’m running on and what my plans are. Hopefully they will be convinced as well to take a sign to show support to help secure Milton’s future…together.
I’ll see you at the doors.
