Senator Ashdown

I've known of Pete Ashdown for probably close to fifteen years. I've been a customer of his since the fall of 1994.

I just discovered today that Pete is going to run for Senate and campaign against Orrin Hatch.

I did some volunteer work for Hatch's 1988 campaign when I was in High School. I voted for him in 1994 and, more reluctantly, in 2000. (As I've previously written elsewhere, in 2000 Hatch narrowly avoided facing a challenger in a Republican Primary.)

I'm enthused and excited about Pete's candidacy. We need more technologically savvy politicians. We need more politicians who've succesfully started their own small businesses. Pete will definitely be getting my vote next year. And I plan on getting involved in his campaign.
