Final Thoughts – CD2 Primary
Here is the official tally for the CD2 Republican Primary. and a photo by Wm Dahlsten (Husband Curt and son Jonathon in the background) while MMM gives her Victory speech.
The text of her speech is here I have a .wav file of her speech but I need to break it into two parts to post. check back later for that. BTW in this picture she’s standing on a “soap box” Senator Hahn built for her during her announcement tour with Mrs. Grassley last fall. She had people sign the box when she took it with her around the District.
This is a very special candidate. Starting her Health Care Forums in early 2009 with Rudy, seems like a life time ago but there will be another long slog until November.
The reason she won by such a decisive margin is – the same thing that happened to me happened to hundreds of people across the district. I got emails from people I haven’t talked to in a year saying, “How’s ‘our gal’ doing – I’ve got new votes for her this election” or “I wish I could vote for her but still have family in Muscatine I will get to vote for her” or “I don’t vote in Primaries but I will for Dr. Miller-Meeks and I’ve been talking about her to friends”…
After all her time on the campaign trail getting to know CD2 voters, answering emails at 1am, or her Tele Town Halls – at some point she stopped “getting” votes and people started getting them for her. No other candidate had that strong grass roots support throughout the district.
