Fellow Rotary member Andy Caldwell was our featured speaker this morning. He brought all of us up to date on his campaigning experience thus far and also took a moment to explain his platform and what he would attempt to accomplish if voted in to congress on election day. Mr. Caldwell is the more conservative of the two candidates running. He emphasized that he would represent his constituents needs at all times if elected and would never lose sight of that during his tenure as a congressman. He has had the opportunity to speak at many meetings during these campaign months (virtual and otherwise) and as a result, has gotten to know a wide variety of people that he hadn't had the opportunity of meeting before.
With less than two weeks to go, Andy still exhibits a "full steam ahead" attitude and will keep reaching out to all potential voters until the final campaign minutes tick away. As a final note, if you have not voted as of yet, please keep Andy in mind. He will most definitely work hard for the Central Coast congressional district. Thank you for all your hard work Andy! Our club definitely appreciates you.
