Thanks!

We ran an honest, hard work based campaign and came up short. Congratulations to Parker and Baggett for making the runoff! I would like to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you who talked me up to your friends, placed a sign in your yard, held a sign at a poll, contributed funds, visited this site, watched me on TV and of course voted for me. I have already been asked if I would do this again, in short I need to get my weight back up, sleep more and relax for a while before I consider another run. I still have a HUGE desire to serve my local community, and in just what way that happens remains to be seen. I will continue to attend all the neighborhood meetings in Ward 3. If you are not a regular attendee of one of the meetings in your neighborhood, start attending and get involved. Volunteer for projects or committee positions. It is YOUR neighborhood, do your part to make it better. We must ALL do our part..... BECAUSE WARD 3 MATTERS!

A Little Help From My Friends

It has been an exhilarating campaign thus far! I have been knocking on doors for weeks, waving my sign during the morning commute on busy streets, and holding my sign at early voting in front of Laman Library. Tiring, yes, but I get pumped up after that first knock on the door or wave (honk, thumbs up, etc) while out in the Ward. The response has been tremendous, BECAUSE WARD 3 MATTERS! I have had many new friends and neighbors tell me they have already cast their vote for me. THANK YOU!

The help from friends in the title of this post is where you, the supporters of a new voice for Ward 3, come into play. If you really want me to be your voice for Ward 3, please contact me this weekend as always using the method of communication you choose, to find out how you can help.

I will be attending the Levy Lions Club pancake breakfast being held at Levy Baptist Church Saturday morning and will be protecting the State on Sunday. I WILL call/email you back.

Thanks,
Steve

A special thanks to Mom for all she does

I would be remiss if I did not give a big public thank you to my mother. Mom is 72 years old and has been a huge part of the door to door aspect of the campaign, as has my wife Susan. I would say Mom has logged about 15 miles of walking with her two metal hips and a recent back surgery not slowing her down. She has been a little under the weather as of late but still insists on working for the campaign.

Mom you are special in many ways, but to do what you have done is above and beyond the call of motherhood. I LOVE YOU Mom! Thanks for being there for me.

An Email from a Ward 3 citizen

A door to door encounter led to the following email. This is the reason I have focused more on going door to door rather than throwing a sign out on every corner.

I would like to thank you again for personally stopping by tonight to introduce yourself and to direct me to your website.The importance of getting out and meeting with constituents is far too often underestimated. Also, I feel too many people are uninformed voters and I admire your innovative approach. I just wanted to express my support. One issue that has concerned me over the 3 years that we have lived here has been safety. My husband is in the Army National Guard. He has been away for training for the past year and half, leaving myself and my 3 year old here alone. There have been times when I have tried to contact the Levy police department substation to report disturbances around my area and no one answers the phone for hours. I also like that you see the potential for growth and investment in this area. Levy is in a wonderful location and has a lot to offer but really does have a bad rep. I think building on the attractions in Ward 3 and creating a prosperous community environment are definitely admirable and attainable goals. It is refreshing to see a candidate that seems to understand the issues in this ward; has the plan and initiative to improve it; and is accessible and accommodating to constituents concerns.

Thanks!

Amboy Rally

I really appreciated the opportunity to speak in Amboy last Saturday. I am very excited by the response I am receiving in my door-to-door visits and look forward to representing YOUR INTERESTS in NLR City Government. BECAUSE WARD 3 MATTERS!

Literature

For several weeks now, the Steve Baxter campaign has been going door-to-door meeting folks and passing out campaign literature. You might not have been at home when we stopped by, but after reading the literature if you would like a yard sign, button, stickers or a personal visit to discuss an issue, please contact me and I will see that your request is met.
