Candidate for Houghton County Prosecutor Pamela B. Dobbs
Our invitation to candidates to post on our blog was accepted by another candidate. Democratic Primary Candidate for Houghton County Prosecuting Attorney, Pamela B. Dobbs sent us the following:
To the Houghton County Democratic Party:
As you know, I am running for the position of Houghton County Prosecuting Attorney. This is the first time I have been involved in an election, and the experience has been interesting, to say the least! I have appreciated the words of encouragement from other Democratic candidates in other races, those I met at the Party meetings and then have met again at parades and festivals. My campaign committee and I are all new to this and are feeling our way through this process, and all encouragement, advice, criticism and war stories have been deeply appreciated.
On Sunday, August 1, 2010, my opponent Mike Makinen and I will be interviewed by WCCY/ WHKB radio. The show, moderated by news director AJ Coffey, will air on Sunday on WCCY 1400 AM at 8:00 a.m. It will air again at 9:00 a.m., on WHKB 102.3 FM. The show is pre- recorded, with Mr. Coffey interviewing us individually, so it won’t be an actual debate. However, we will each address the issues raised by Mr. Coffey in the interview, so the public will be able to learn more about each of us and how we stand on certain issues. I welcomed this opportunity to have this contact with the community, and hope that it is answers questions that people may still have. I have had two articles in the Daily Mining Gazette which have been read by many people in the community, judging by the response to the door-to-door campaigning my family and I have been doing. We have walked several neighborhoods, with many more areas to reach before Monday night!
It is difficult to know how the voter turnout will be, and how many people will vote the Democratic ticket because of this particular race that is only being run in the Democratic party. I have been told by several Republican friends that they will be voting on the Democratic ballot because their vote has more impact in a local race than in the state race. I certainly hope many people feel that way.
Thank you for all of your support. Regardless of the outcome, I intend to remain in contact with the Democratic party and will do what I can to support candidates in the general election in November. Best of luck to all who are running!
Sincerely,
Pamela B. Dobbs
