I’m stunned and very thankful for my total combined 950 votes.
The Lord gets 100% of this as I let Him guide my actions.
Thanks to everyone that supported me, even though it was an “uncontested” Primary. This election really was vital to show both, the “unbeatable and very popular” Ms. Johnston (ego and all) that we are serious and that the citizens of McLean County want their voices back. Which is what I intend to do.
My 950 votes (still can’t believe it) to the oppositions (they’ve been out working and knocking on doors in Randy Knapps neighborhood) 747 combined turnout.
I guarantee that none of her close friends and associates were snapping their fingers in glee at her performance. Instead, the relief or realization that a serious candidate is in their midst and thankful to whatever entity they worship, that this wasn’t the General election.
The first words my biggest supporter said after the final numbers came, “He gets all the Glory, Chad!!” My wife Lilla whose job it is to make sure I make it to Heaven and my job to ensure that she does as well, always has the right name or sentence to keep me focused on what’s important. Now, that’s listening to McLean County and its citizens.
Thank you all.
Praise Him!
Congratulations to State House Candidates Dennis Tipsword, Desi Anderson, Regan Deering, and Senate Candidate Chris Balkema.
Our next generation of local State candidates that we all need to support 100%. A divided House is a fallen one.
Why would someone vote blank?
Vote for one of two possible, personal or political reasons I guess or missed the (vote for 2) (Vote for 3) in the instructions?
Vote for a candidate that dropped out months ago?
Maybe they just wanted the record to reflect they voted.
Those numbers are interesting. Do you think there are more republicans or is just that the Democrats did not vote because the outcome was already settled.
