Sayre Petition Signatures In


Scott Sayre turned in almost three times the amount of signatures necessary to run on the Republican ticket today to the 24th Legislative District Chair. What's the real significance of this you may ask? That will place him first on the ballot for the upcoming June 12th primary with incumbent Senator Hanger.


That is a real plus for a challenger, as he builds name recognition, and voters don't just see the familiar name of the incumbent and vote for him instead of the challenger. This is also a good sign of the 'ground game' that Sayre has in place to get those signatures, and get them in earlier than the Man he is trying to unseat. Also, it shows his campaign is focused and achieving/doing the small things right that trip up political novices seeking to unseat 3 term incumbents.
