Tom Hoefling's affidavit of candidacy and nomination petitions for the office of Iowa Governor for the Republican Party have been officially accepted and certified by the Iowa Secretary of State's Office.
His name will now be certified to the appropriate county commissioners of elections for inclusion on the ballot at the June 3, 2014, Primary Election!
Our heartfelt thanks to all who helped make this possible!
Because of you, Iowa Republicans now have a choice!
Kick their butts, go RINO hunting
Congrats.
Make us proud, Tom. :-)
Give ‘Em Hell, EV!
The Des Moines Register finally acknowledged I exist today. They pretty much had to.
They characterized this as “a David vs. Goliath race to the extreme.”
They’re right, of course, but, as always, they forget who won that particular fight. :-)
Of course. They likely don’t spend much time reading the Bible
I’ll just tell ‘em the truth, and they’ll think it’s Hell.
:-)
Harry Truman did have a way with words.
I’ll do my best, CCC. Thanks!
Thank you, sir.
Congratulations E.V.!
Be strong!
Congratulations Sir, and THANK you!
If you need to bounce an idea off of a red-white-and blue group of Conservative Intellectuals, (pardon the redundancy), please consider us first!
We may not live in Iowa, but lots of us, myself included, have friends and relatives in Iowa.
Back in the day, Radio Announcer Paul Harvey had a quote that may be helpful to you and your Campaign Staff as follows:
“WHEN YOUR OUTGO EXCEEDS YOUR INCOME, YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL.”
BTW, use the appropriate arm gestures when delivering this quote in Public.
Congratulations EV. God be with you.
way to go Tom! God’s speed.
Loooking good. Great work. Best of luck.
