Campaign Stop in Elko New Market

Kevin Dahle, Senate candidate, door knocked in Elko New Market over the weekend.

Theresa Marie Drive, Dorothy Lane, Francis Lane, Tammy Drive, Jean Way, and Holly Court.  It’s not very often we visit a city with streets named after women, but Elko New Market pays tribute to more than the usual avenues of Presidents, trees, letters, and numbers I usually walk as I hit the doors while campaigning. 

I was happy to visit this town of just over 4000, the newest addition to Senate District 20.  While this particular “new neighborhood” offered few mature trees as shade on a hot and steamy Saturday, the people I visited offered a friendly face and an appreciation for the brief visit as I introduced myself and my campaign.

Understandably, many people are still undecided about who they might vote for in an election nearly 5 months away.  But others are quick to offer an assessment on the current state of affairs.  As one gentleman put it, “You know the current legislature is pretty screwed up?” I paused for a second and offered a response before I headed off to the next house, “I guess that’s why I am running.   I would appreciate your support.”
