My Dad

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your support of my campaign, it is crucial to my success on November 6th. Today, I need your help more than ever.

Friday night, my father passed away from a sudden heart attack at his home in Indianapolis. Although my father had been in poor health for many years, his death at this time comes as a shock. I will be leaving Tuesday for Indianapolis and returning this weekend. My excitement about the election is now tempered with sorrow.

In my absence, I need your support to help finish out the campaign. Absentee ballots arrived last week, and many people have begun voting. Please email or call all your friends in Redmond to remind them to vote for me.

I know many of you have experienced the loss of a parent, and will understand the difficult path I am now walking. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and support.

John
