Kiser for State Rep

I made a big leap into the world of politics this year.  The older I get, I feel the more I want to be involved in politics.  I have always voted (every election, primaries included), but this would be a big adventure for me. I was asked to be on a campaign team.

Our friend, Dennis Kiser, felt called to run for state representative for our new district.  Since I was from Fairview and lived in Spring Hill (that covered most of the district), I hoped to make some connections for him. I was ecstatic to have this opportunity and to learn more about the behind the scenes of politics.  

Yes, he joined the race late, but we were determine to do everything we could as a campaign team, to get Dennis elected.  We knew that he would be a perfect fit. He was blessed with an amazing group of volunteers and our saturdays were busy with door to door knocking ( a lot which were in the middle of the summer, YOWSERS) .  Weekly meetings until midnight  and lots of emails, phone calls, etc throughout the week.  I wanted to be there for the Kisers in any way that I could because they are amazing people.  We love Dennis and Cindy so much and the heart that they have for others and for God.

I am thankful for everything that I learned and the experience, not to mention, I met a group of people who are pretty fabulous.

Dennis was the underdog the whole race since he joined the race late and he was not taking any PAC or special interest money. His fundraising came from your every day voter, which was the opposite of the other guys running. Dennis took risks and made bold moves like calling into local talk radio shows which the other candidates did not do.

In the end, Dennis did not win, but he obeyed his call and gave it his all.   Dennis really feels that this experience will give him more credibility at the capitol where he has a led a weekly bible study for the past 3 years.

We celebrated at our house at the end of the election.  We were honored to be part of his journey.
