TEAM BOOTS YARD SIGNS FINALLY ARRIVED! TEAM BOOTS volunteers met in the morning rain to OFFICIALLY LAUNCH OUR YARD SIGNS CAMPAIGN!

TEAM BOOTS recently welcomed its newest member, Emily Plunkett, who will serve as our Campaign Intern.

TEAM BOOTS STRATEGIZED over coffee and hot chocolate during the rain!

Dan spoke with the Breakfast Optimist Club of Indianapolis recently, sharing his vision for Northeast Marion County.

TEAM BOOTS was ECSTATIC for our first Pre-primary Campaign Finance Report! We are truly humbled by the substantial early support we've received, which has rocketed us off to a strong start!

Dan also spoke at the Lawrence Dems Club candidate forum.

Team Boots volunteers hit the phones on 2 different nights leading up to Primary Day!

During the last few days leading up to Primary Day, Dan talked with residents along Vera Drive/Eastwood area regarding septic, sewer and drainage issues.

On the Sunday and Monday immediately before Primary Day, Team Boots conducted a lit drop to distribute flyers in neighborhoods we had not yet walked.

Team Boots was out early on Election Day! It was a SUCCESSFUL day as we garnered 78% of the vote – THANK YOU!!

After catching our breath after the Primary, earlier this week Team Boots hit the ground again attending the first of several meetings on efforts to revitalize Glendale Town Center. At this informal meeting, speakers from Kite Realty and Milhaus outlined their proposed $50 Million plan for the area. Among them were Mark Jenkins, SVP of Retail Development with Kite, Brad Vogelsmeier, Director of Development with Milhaus, and Joe Calderon, of Barnes & Thornburg. The plans include transforming the former Macy's store into a space for 4-6 retail tenants and the construction of 3-story apartment buildings along the east side of Rural St. (where the current parking lot is). We are excited about this plan to breathe some new life into the Glendale area!

Stay tuned as the post-Primary regular campaign season has now begun! If you would like Team Boots to come to your neighborhood, please let us know!
