Of the three candidates running in the special election for House District 117 (Biloxi/Gulfport), only one said he would support repeal. The other candidates were unresponsive on the issue.This is very good news, and an important milestone. We found a biker-friendly candidate. And he welcomes help from the motorcycling communty.
(Go to ElectPatrickCollins.com to volunteer.)
Now all we need is a small "Go Team" of Gulf Coast bikers who can work as campiagn volunteers. I sent a Legislative Alert to our subscribers, and I sent a copy to all ABATE of Mississippi officers.
It's not only "show time," it's also time to "show and tell." While it's great to know that we have nine subscribers along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, passing the word is just a step. The real payoff comes from action, and that's totally in the hands of Mississippi bikers.
Like many special elections, voter turnout will be low, and the margin of victory will be narrow.
If you click on the ELECTIONS tab at the top of the page, and then scroll down to the bottom, you'll see how close some of these special elections turned out to be. One of these was decided by only 16 votes. That's why each and every campaign volunteer makes such a big difference.
Will Mississippi bikers respond to the call? Only time will tell. And time is ticking, because the election takes place on December 8. That's when we find out what kind of difference we all made.
Hopefully it's the good kind.
