Grassroots Power and Fundraising Power Says It’s “Miller Time”
It’s 6:45 a.m. the day after 9 days of grueling knock and drag operations for early voting and Byron Miller and 10 supporters are waving signs at IH-35 and Eisenhauer Road trying to raise awareness that Saturday is election day for District 2 residents in the city council runoff election.
The campaign will hold an outdoor neighborhood block party for its victory celebration on Saturday, June 13, 2009 from 7:30 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. at the corner of Hackberry and Paso Hondo, directly across from the Carver Academy and next to Fire Station #2.
In the meantime, the Miller Campaign is firing on all cylinders with radio ads, direct mail, block walking, phone banking, robo calls, visibility, senior mail ballot programs, billboards, and visiting local hangouts to gin up every possible voter for the runoff election.
Over the course of the last few weeks, the campaign has communicated its plans to revitalize neighborhoods, beautify streets, fight crime, and promote economic development. (See direct mail pieces attached)
According to the latest campaign finance reports, the Miller Campaign has out fundraised its opponent more than 3 to 1. Since the runoff, Miller has brought in $21,860 and his opponent raised $7,105.
Most political analyst say that without a major ticket position on the ballot, like mayor, the turnout for the runoff will be 50% less than the turnout for the general election. Thus far, turnout is at 66% of the runoff election. The prevailing political opinions also indicate that a higher voter turnout benefits Miller.
