Over hill, over dale, we will hit the dusty trail...

John has been busy getting to know some of the faces and places of the Tenth Judicial Circuit which includes includes Peoria, Tazewell, Marshall, Putnam and Stark Counties. It is a very large area and has been keeping him quite busy.

Below John greets voters at a Health care clinic. He has been reaching out to all voters but given this is the primary campaign season, he is particularly interested in connecting with Republican voters. Personally, I would like to see judicial elections be non-partisan (like the School Board elections) but I doubt we have the clout to change that (Lol!)



This stage of the campaign involves gathering enough signatures to get his name on the Republican ballot. The required number of signatures is 500, but to insure that they are all "qualified" signatures the goal is to triple that.

A qualified signature is one from 1. a registered voter 2. who resides in the circuit (Peoria, Tazewell, Marshall, Putnam and Stark counties) and that 3. has not and will not sign a petition for a Democrat candidate.

If you meet that criteria and have not yet signed John's petition and would like to do so, please call the Vespa for Judge campaign headquarters at 309-251-VOTE (8683) or e-mail us at john@vespaforjudge.com. We can also use help circulating petitions, particularly in counties other than Peoria.
