Getting Into Politics

Politicians have been known to kiss a baby or two in order to garner voters’ favor, but this candidate had our vote long before these babies were even born. Wes Roberts, our next door neighbor, is running for Owensboro School Board, and Daddy Dave has been helping him with his campaign. These non-paid elected offices have very small campaign budgets and candidates often try to win office solely using yard signs and brochures. Unfortunately, Sunday’s major wind storm relocated Wes’ yard signs to unknown locations probably many miles away, so Daddy and the boys volunteered to go to his supporter’s homes to replace signs. This is Davey and Benji’s first campaign, and I’m sure it won’t be their last.
