After only a little over three months of into my campaign 445 people cast ballots to support me for election in the primary. This was a shock to many because the incumbent has been an office for eight years, the other candidate campaigning for two years and then I just started. Not fully understanding the process , I thought after the Primary Election the race was over. I congratulated the other two candidates and continued my message in the community encouraging people to simply vote. After the primary was over I thought it was the end of my race And set up with the idea of possibly And I was OK with the possibility of running next year.
After the race I begin receiving calls from people encouraging me to run as a Write-In candidate. I Contacted the local board of elections and they told me I could not run again and the same office but I can run as a Write-In for a different office. I immediately told everyone I couldn’t run but would consider next year.
The day early voting began I received a phone call from someone telling me that I was able to run as a Write In Candidate. The next day I called and verified through the state board of election and they told me that was true and I was misinformed by the local board of elections. Without hesitation I jumped back in the race.
