Rick’s Road Trip
Normally when I travel the state I go with someone but tomorrow I’m heading out on my own. I was with my wife Kathy the other day, and I just had this idea that on this long trip I needed to go on my own. Yes, my staff has plenty to do, but this is more than that. I need to be in the car, driving through the countryside of Oregon, all alone. In 19 days my life will change. I will no longer be on the campaign trail. I will either be the next Oregon Secretary of State, or I will be ready to start all over. After eight months of campaigning, yes I want to win. But it’s really up to the voters of Oregon to make that decision. My opponent and I are very different so Oregonians will have a clear choice.
So, early tomorrow morning, I will pack the car (Yes I have signs) and head out by myself. I won’t tell you tonight where I’m headed. But I’ll keep you posted as I go. This has been the most amazing journey and our polls show we are doing very well. Oregonians don’t care what party you belong to. They just want someone who will do the job. I’m that guy and tomorrow I will take that message on the road again. So far I’ve put 26,000 miles on my car…..and counting.
