{britt for county council}

today my brother-in-law, britt blackwell, announced his candidacy for county council. matt, coleman and i attended his campaign launch event (spencer was in school). i must confess i am not much into politics. i know what i believe, what is important to me, and how i stand on bigger issues. but i do not follow politics on any level - local, state, or national. i educate myself enough to vote, but not much beyond that. it's just not my "thing".

but, britt is a conservative republican and being family, obviously i know his views on things and that we line up pretty closely. i would support family in any endeavor, but i also support his political career. he has served on both local and state school boards, and decided county council was the next step for him.

unfortunately, i don't have many *connections* to really help him out, but i will do what i can. i was able to answer some of his facebook questions. i made a flyer for the launch event. and we will eventually host a "meet and greet" at our home. i have made sure everyone i know in his district knows that he's running so they can at least read up on his views to see if they might want to support him.

you can follow britt in various ways:
