First steps as a candidate for Mercer County Freeholder

At the New Jersey Libertarian Party's Convention, I was elected chair of the Libertarian Party of Mercer County and I received the party's endorsement to run for Mercer County Freeholder. I picked up the papers I need to run as freeholder. I have to find 100 verifiable registered voters of Mercer County to sign my petition in order for my name to appear on the ballot. If you have a little money, you could probably hire college students, etc., to help collect petitions for you, but I don't see any donations in the near future.

The campaign laws are very strict here. If I plan on spending anything for my campaign, I have to open a separate account for my campaign and it has to be at a bank with a branch in NJ. Even if you do not spend anything, you have a campaign finance form you have to fill out, but it's simpler and only needs to be filed once. I'll also have to fill out forms at least every quarter for that account and more often just before and after an election. I hope to open that as soon as possible so I can order business cards. I'm also thinking about getting a car-topper for parades, but Tamra isn't interested in driving our Taurus in a parade with some magnetic signs and a car-topper while I walk along side and hand out fliers, business cards and/or brochures. I haven't found a parade yet, but I'd be there if I could. I bet Kaitlyn, my three year old daughter, would love to drive in a parade so I'll have to wait until she's old enough. Yes, I'm thinking way ahead of myself her, but I am excited. Anyways, the first step will be getting the signatures to get on the ballot.

I'm open to any campaign or petitioning ideas ;)
