Eric, thanks for connecting us.

Fran, it is great to hear about your plans to run for Congress.  I am looking forward to helping out in any way that I am able.  
I am available for a call on Thursday afternoon.  What works for you?
Jeff

PERSONAL DISCLAIMER: I generally check email once per day, so please do not be offended if my response is not immediate.

We pushed out an announcement video that you can see on our website www.PersonForCongress.com - I was raised in politics by VP Biden, so my voice is rooted in Biden - which is a great thing. We got a lot of buzz down here, and both sides are ready for a race.

He's a freedom caucus guy and has found himself on the wrong side of some major issues. Quite honestly, he's not a liked guy, even on the republican side. On message, I will beat him. I need to be able to raise enough to be able to get up on air at the end of this.

It's going well so far, but all eyes are going to be on my March 31 first quarter filing to see how viable I am. It's going well so far, but I have my neck on the line, so I'm naturally nervous...I'm sure you know the feeling.
