Sign, sign

Everywhere a sign

Blockin' out the scenery….

The Five Man Electrical Band’s lyrics still hold true today – 53 years later.

At the moment, there is one sign on my mind – Mine!

It’s hard to believe it’s time for early voting for the primary. This means election signs popping up everywhere like dandelions in an Indiana meadow. I know you have noticed. Lucky for everyone there is only one contested race, so the number of sign sightings should be down.

I don’t have to win the primary to make the general election. However being new to the game, I’m planning on distributing a good number of signs. I need to use the opportunity to get my name out there. I need to use every opportunity be noticed and most importantly remembered. If you have a spot to display one, please contact me!

Being noticed & remembered is one key in the election cycle. I chose to make my logo and signs different than the norm, it was a risk, but from the feedback I’ve received it has succeeded. The black background hasn’t been used very often and so far in this cycle mine is the only one. I had to choose red for the contracting color both due to the pop against the black, but also to pay homage to New Albany High School. The imagery of the Sherman Minton Bridge is due to a few reasons. First it is the anchor of the city, it is visible from nearly every area of the city, and I get a great view on my way to work near IUS every morning. Another reason is my engineering background; bridges are the cornerstone of infrastructure in the US and engineers make that happen. Finally, it symbolizes what I intend to be on the council. I will be a bridge between you and the city. It is why I’m running. To accomplish that, it will require the fulfillment of my campaign principles - Transparency, Accountability and Integrity.

Please give me your thoughts on my logo/signs. Have they caught your eye, would you like to post a sign? Comment on my Facebook page or drop me an email at Scott@SWforNA.com.

I also invite you to please visit the “Sign Up / Stay In Touch” section on my website to volunteer, request a sign or to sign up to receive my forthcoming newsletter. Please also consider making a donation to my campaign. There are links at the bottom of my home page. I look forward to meeting everyone during the campaign. As a side note I may be in my “alternate” light grey shirts during the warm weather!
