Dear Supporters,

       I'm writing to let you know that I need your vote again in the July 22, 2014 primary runoff election.  After every vote was counted, including the provisional ballots, I finished 3 votes shy of winning this election outright. 

      Many of you know that my runoff opponent, John McCloskey, publicly announced yesterday that he is suspending his campaign, and he will support me in the runoff.  I am very grateful to him and believe that his actions will spare our district and the Republican party what could have been a bruising runoff and will benefit us all.

      Please note, though, that my opponent did not withdraw from or concede this race; his name will still appear on the July 22 ballot.

       I am in a runoff and I need everyone's vote and support on July 22nd.

      Early voting starts June 30th.  If you are going to be out of town on July 22nd, or if you will be so busy that it will be hard for you to vote in person between June 30 and July 22, please vote by absentee ballot.  Here's a link to request an absentee ballot application:

Also, and this is critically important, please note that all voters can vote in the July 22 Republican runoff - even those who did not vote in the May 20 primary - other than those who voted in the Democratic primary on May 20th. 

Thank you all for your continued support.  And remember, EVERY VOTE MATTERS!

Sincerely,
