Vote for Joe Kalil
Did you know… that I am running for office? I am running for:
BOONE COUNTY CONSTABLE – 3rd District
WHEN: Primary election is Tuesday, May 18th. Mark your calendar. I will only have competition in the primaries since no Democrat has registered to run in November.
WEBSITE: www.JoeForConstable.com
FACEBOOK: Joe Kalil for Constable
FUNDRAISER: Buffalo Bobs Restaurant off the Mt. Zion exit of I-75 in Florence, KY. Wednesday, March 31st from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. 10% of your food receipt goes to my campaign.
Address: 9910 Berberich Drive, Florence, KY 41042 Phone: (859) 371-5244 (Owner also attends my church and is a good man)
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ME OUT:
1) Vote for me if you live in Boone County’s 3rd District (most of Florence, part of Erlanger, eastern part of Union, and northern part of Walton)
2) If you know someone in the 3rd District, refer them to my website and tell them to contact me.
3) Go door-to-door for me in your immediate neighborhood if you live in 3rd District.
4) Sign up to be a Fan on my Facebook page (looking for high number of fans – also good way to keep up-to-date on my campaign)
5) Attend my fundraiser or consider contributing to my campaign (see webpage: http://joeforconstable.com/donate/)
6) Let me know if you know of a good place for a yard sign.
DILEMMA: Unfortunately, 95% of the people I know do NOT live in my district, so I need help getting the word out to people in this area. Please consider referring people to my website and/or Facebook page.
Thanks for your support
