With about 33% of the vote it looks like I'm at about 13% right now. Not too shabby for just running to make a statement. On the downside looks like I have a higher percentage than Kinky right now. I'm still pulling for him though, and the night is a newborn babe.
Update: it looks like I held steady at 13% right to the final count. I'll concede the victory to my opponent John Smithee, but this is a win in the sense that I was able to achieve my goals, giving the voters an option on an otherwise unopposed ticket and raising the visibility of the Libertarian party and Libertarian issues in my district. I want to thank the almost five thousand people who voted for me, and also the friends and family who ran this campaign entirely on word of mouth. We made a showing without a single bumper sticker, campaign sign or advertisement and that's a result about which we can be be proud.
