A Busy Stretch on the Campaign Trail: Conversations Across the District

It’s been a very busy couple of weeks for Jotham and the Stein for Congress campaign. This past Saturday, Jotham stayed close to home, meeting voters at the Half Moon Bay Farmers Market in the morning before spending the afternoon at the Half Moon Bay Wine and Jazz Festival. The following day, Sunday, Jotham traveled to the Campbell Farmers Market to continue speaking with voters. One couple, accompanied by their four- or five-year-old daughter, spent nearly 15 minutes asking thoughtful questions about Jotham’s plans to help fix America. As they left, they thanked Jotham for the “honest conversation.” Jotham replied that if more Americans were as engaged as they are, our country would be in a much better place. He also made sure to thank their daughter for patiently waiting while her parents talked politics.

Yesterday, Jotham spent hours meeting voters at the Pacifica Farmers Market. Even many who didn’t stop to talk still thanked him for being out there, meeting voters face-to-face. Today, Jotham began the afternoon at the Portola Farmers Market before heading to the Los Altos Farmers Market later in the day. At both events, Jotham not only met new voters, but also reconnected with longtime supporters who have stood behind his Independent campaign since he announced his run for Congress in January.

If you see Jotham out on the campaign trail, please stop and say hello. Jotham firmly believes that government should be about you—the voters, we the people—not political parties or big money.
