Drivers, start your engines

Our tour of consecutive Republican congressional districts has officially begun.  Florida-13 is the first district on our list and so far it has been a great place to begin our adventure. Last night, we held a kickoff event in Sarasota where we were able to get to know some of the local campaign staff and CRs.  We even got to meet two members of the Vern Buchanan for Congress campaign, Rochelle and Joe, who we will be working with today.  Thanks to everyone who came out to help us celebrate the beginning of what will be an epic summer.

We also picked up the fourth member of our team, Chris, from the airport on Sunday night. It was great to finally meet him after weeks of knowing him only as the elusive "camera guy."  We share a love for the beach and I'm glad there is someone else on the trip who can help influence the others to make stops close to the beach as often as possible. 

The reactions we have gotten from everyone we tell about what we're doing have been great.  It's very encouraging to know that we have the support of like-minded people.  A lot of people have told us how jealous they are of what we are doing and I can't say I blame them.  Who wouldn't want my job?

Today, we are heading over to Buchanan's campaign headquarters to help out around the office. Rochelle and Joe mentioned that they have only had their office open for a couple of weeks but they're already busy.  We are looking forward to helping out however we can.
