Congratulations to 14 candidates who survived our "Political Speed Dating" event on Thursday.  The response was quite positive.  And thanks to over 70 community members who came to meet the candidates and have a chance to have many  personal conversations.   We had fantastic media coverage for this event:  The AZ Republic placed it in the Valley and State section on Thursday, KJZZ ran a short piece on Thursday morning and then came to record the entire event and interviewed guests and candidates.  The story ran Friday morning and can be heard here:  http://kjzz.org/news/arizona/archives/201002/LD8_Speed_Date 

Every hour that you give can mean the difference in an election.  Please make a commitment today to volunteer 2 hours a month.
