Dear friends, 

Early voting has finally begun (September 7-22) for the September 27th primary, and I've been overwhelmed by the support from all walks and life and corners of the city.

In the last 48 hours alone, I've received calls, e-mails, and Facebook messages from people asking how they can join our team for the final push to victory.

There is no time commitment to volunteer, but in general we’ve been signing folks up for the following shifts (everyday): 7:00-9:00am, 11:00am-1:00pm, and 4:00-7:00pm.

If you have a morning/afternoon free – or even want to help during your lunch break – simply email laura@votepadgett.com or call 865-382-6904. From there, we’ll send you the location, teammate information, and any further instructions.

But again, the most important thing you can do to help move Knoxville forward is to encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to vote.

Thanks again for all you do!

Sincerely,
Mark Padgett
