Thanks, Hunter.  I understand the situation.  I want to be sure that you
know that from the time you first mentioned the possibility of Ron
weighing-in for me, I never expected that form of support to be time
consuming for Ron.  I think that there is a real value to Ron having
heard from you about me, if only because the subject of the District
Court for DC may come up in conversation.  With some people who support
me, my best hope is that they will simply say when asked, "I hear good
things about John Mott" or something to that effect.  Slightly better
would be to have a person put those thoughts in an e-mail or phone call
- especially to someone influential.  Recently, I have been fortunate
enough to have some people contact the Chief of Staff (or folks in his
office) for me.  I know that there is no secret formula to getting the
nod.  The good thing is that my name is at the White House and that I am
being considered, but this also makes me want to play my cards right.  I
appreciate your support on this and, again, I think that just mentioning
me to Ron is helpful.

All the best,

John

Thanks John. If I gain any useful info I will get back to you. Ron has
not been very forthcoming- and for good reason- if he got involved it
would be a full time job in and of itself. Regardless, I have made my
feelings clear and if there is anything I learn I will pass it on. I
feel bad that I have been of basically zero help to you on this- but ill
keep my ear to the ground.

Thank you, Hunter.  It sounds like you have had a tiring stretch.  I'm
glad to read that your brother is home and better, and I hope that you
and your family are all well.  

Things are definitely moving in the right direction.  Whether I am
successful this year or later will depend somewhat in things outside of
my control and, in part, on building additional support that will make
it easier for the WH to say yes.  It is great to have your help on this.
I stand ready and interested in talking with Ron and anyone you suggest.

All the best,

John

John,
Ill check to see if I can gain any information asap. I was out for the
past two weeks first on travel and then in the hospital with my brother.
Regardless, sounds like it is moving in the right direction. Best,
Hunter.

Dear Hunter,

I have heard some favorable reports recently about my position in what
is a very competitive and political process.  Whether this means that I
am fortunate enough to receive a nomination this year or just miss out
on one this time but am set up well for the next vacancy, I don't know.
In any event, I would love to touch base with you.  By the way, it was
great to meet your dad at George and Karen's last month.  I had not
known that he is also a former public defender.  

Best to the family,

John
