Great day for walking

Sat, 04/14/2012 - 6:46pm -- Kelly Burk

Today over 30 people came out to walk in Leesburg.  Twenty of the people were from the Communicaition Workers of America and LiUNA! Thanks to all of them.  Also 10 local volunteers came out and walked .  It was a great day.  Thanks to all my supporters.  Walking was followed by Manhatten Pizza Party to celebrate the 100 aniversary of the Girl Scouts.  Wonderful pizza and terrific young girls working to serve their community.  Moms and Dads enjoyed the pizza too.  We finished the meal with a beautiful cake from Mom's Apple Pie.  Three days left. 

Last weekend

I hope everyone saw the letter in the papers from some members of the business community endorsing and supporting me.  I am truly honored that these business people support me so strongly that they signed their names to the letter. 

Another great day

This weekend was great for walking.  My feet hurt and my leg feel like lead but it was wonderful to meet so many postive, supporters.   Larry and I put out 23 signs this weekend.  It makes it almost 200 signs are out there now.  I appreciate all the volunteers this weekend and I thank every one that took a sign for their yard.  Only 36 days till election. APRIL 17.  We all need to make sure that we vote and that our neighbors vote.  Remember APRIL 17 
The next event is the Campaign Pub Crawl in Leesburg.  Look for us on St. Patrick's green beads and all.

One open seat

Sun, 03/04/2012 - 5:39pm -- Kelly Burk

Today I was walking door to door meeting the voters and handing out literature.  When one person said to me sure I will vote you and the other guy too.  I said she could only vote for one of us.  She was surprised.  She said she had been told that there were two openings and she could vote for both candidates.  Please spread the word that there is only ONE SEAT open for this election. In November there will be three seats open but this race is for one seat only. 

Donations

Fri, 03/02/2012 - 9:47am -- Kelly Burk

People have asked me where to send campaign check donations.  Checks should be made out to Friends of Kelly Burk, and mailed to 111  Carlton Street, Leesburg, VA 20175. 
Even though this is a short election cycle many of the same requirements are needed; such as, hand out literature, newspaper ads, mailings.  Running a campaign costs money. Your help, by way of a check, is greatly appreciated. 

Windy but exhilarated

Sat, 02/25/2012 - 6:40pm -- Kelly Burk

Woke this morning to see all the campaign signs in my neighborhood missing.  The wind had taken them all away.   Looked for them but only found one.  Wonder where they ended up!  Waiting till tomorrow to replace them
Walked for three hours today with Linda and Ross.  We hit so many doors where people were delighted to know that I was running for the town council seat.   It was really exciting to meet so many supporters.  The wind was brutal but Linda and Ross gave it their best and stayed for the entire walk. 
I love West Leesburg. 

Time to come walk

Sun, 02/19/2012 - 11:17am -- Kelly Burk

The campaign for town council is now up and running or should I say walking.   Need everyone to come join the campaign and walk with me to spread the message by joining the door to door effort.  Come out on the weekends and meet your neighbor and tell them about my campaign of efficient, open and accessible governemnt,  strong transportation solutions, reasonable tax rate and my strong  support for businesses, large and small.  Let me know when you are available.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
