As a public service, Klee’s Kaleidoscope will publish campaign statements, unedited, for all candidates regardless of party affiliation. Just e-mail me your statement at hklee@kleekal.com along with a photograph of yourself if you have one in .jpg or .gif format as an attachment. If you don’t have e-mail, you shouldn’t be running for office in the first place.

A suggestion re campaign statements: Spare us the good intentions. State your education, experience and relevant qualifications (not who you’re married to, how many children/grandchildren you have, where you go to church, etc.) and provide a clear and succinct statement as to what you intend to accomplish if elected or re-elected to office. But then, it’s your statement so submit whatever you want – I’ll publish it as is unedited.
