Semi Official Final Election Results – Update #4

Thank you to everyone for your support and your vote on June 7th!  Today’s update from the Ventura County Elections Office show that we are holding strong with 22.4% of the Ventura County Supervisor District 3’s total votes (35,993). We are already hard at work on strategy and fundraising for the Ventura County Supervisor District 3 Run Off in November.

I am ready to work for you! If we are going to be successful, I need to start the General Election with a strong base of support – and I need your help. We have to reach many more people with our message before the upcoming election! This cannot be done without gifts, committed volunteers, lots and lots of outreach and discussion events. My opponent is backed by public employee unions and special interest groups who like the status quo. They are going to spend a lot of money and fight hard to win. We have to be able to compete!

Your gift today will make a difference!  It will show the community that you believe in my campaign and that you think I am the best candidate.  Will you make a gift today? I’m not asking for me. In fact, it’s not easy to ask anyone for money. However, our County and its government are too important. We need to stand up and make sure that our community and citizens are well represented. The maximum limit is $1,500 per couple / $750 per person; Any donation ($50, $100, $250, $500, $750) up to November is appreciated! Join our team and make a difference.

Candidate with a Winning Record

I am pleased to announce that I am running for Ventura County Supervisor – District 3.  Our current supervisor is retiring after 20 years of service and I am excited for the opportunity to bring new energy and ideas to Ventura County.

As a business owner and mother in this community, I decided four years ago to enter public service and ran for a seat on the Pleasant Valley School Board. To this day, I am truly grateful and humbled by the outpouring of support for my first ever political campaign and proud to have come in first place, beating two incumbents and garnering 15,000 votes – one of the highest vote totals ever for the district.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege to meet and work with many leaders in our community including Ventura County Supervisor Peter Foy, Fillmore City Council Member Rick Neal, Pleasant Valley School Board Member Ron Speakman, and Pleasant Valley School District Superintendent RaeAnne Michael and am proud to have their support in my campaign for Supervisor.

The opportunity to serve in this incredible district and build relationships with our teachers, parents and administrators has been amazing but as I’ve spent time getting to know more and more members of our community, I’ve also noticed some heartbreaking trends. Too many parents who drop their students off in the morning to one of our schools continue from campus to hit an overcrowded freeway and drive to work in Santa Barbara or LA. Too many more simply return home to continue hunting for a good job capable of supporting their family in our beautiful but expensive community.

As we watch our businesses leave and watch our politicians do nothing to stop or replace them, Ventura County is losing its middle class. In order to protect our world class schools, public services and our quality of life we also need to protect the strong economy that makes them possible. Our county needs new, fiscally responsible and business friendly leadership to secure our way of life for future generations of farmers, surfers and those looking for a safe community to raise or start a family.

I am proud of the record I have as Board Trustee of the Pleasant Valley School District and I promise to work hard to provide the same effective and efficient leadership on the Board of Supervisors.

But I can’t do this without your help. 

This will be a hard fought campaign between those who want business as usual and those who know reform is necessary to save our county. I would be honored and thankful if you could contribute the maximum of $750, $250, $100 or any amount. I know what it takes to win big in a hard fought election and will work every day to talk meet voters and earn
their support. The race for Supervisor will be bigger and more expensive than my School Board race four years ago, but I promise to run an efficient campaign and respect any investment you make into my campaign and our community.

The end of this month represents our campaign’s first reporting deadline. December 31^st will be a major barometer for every candidate running for this seat and we need to show that we are strong and have the resources needed to win. If you can contribute before the end of the year, it would be very helpful.

If you would like to talk to me more about my platform and this election, please contact me at (805) 206-9853 or kelly@kellylongforsupervisor.com. I appreciate your support!   Together, we will win!

Best regards,

Kelly Long

Thank you for your support! We did it!

Hello to all,
 
I am ecstatic to say that we won! The majority of votes are in. Currently I have 42% of the votes for the Pleasant Valley School Board. That is 15,297 votes. Wow! I didn’t know we would get so many. I am truly grateful for the effort you put out for the campaign. Thank you for your endorsement. Thank you for talking to your friends and winning votes. Thank you for putting a yard sign in your yard. Thank you for your donations. And most of all thank you for believing in me.
 
The next step is to wait until the election has been certified which takes 28 days. Then once that is done, I will be sworn in to my position at the December 11th Pleasant Valley School Board meeting. That is when my job officially begins and I am ready for the challenge. It is for the kids!
 
Please forward this to your friends who have helped make this possible!
 
Thank you for your support!

Hello to All,

Update on the last 4 Months

Just to recap the last 4 months, I would like to thank everyone for the supporting the Kelly Long campaign by putting up a sign in your lawn and car, endorsements, wearing a button, passing out brochures, walking the neighborhoods, talking with friends, holding parties and meet n greets, letters to the editor, Facebooking, emailing, and sending in a donations for campaign costs.

• Over 240 signs out in mostly families’ yards.  This says a lot about the support to our campaign!
• Over 11,000 brochures were sent out to our absentee ballot voters.  This provided additional public awareness. Over half our community votes absentee.Click to see Mailer: Long2012Mailer Additional mailers delivered door to door and at events.
• We also have been to many locations in Camarillo such as the Farmer’s Market, the soccer fields, the Chili Cook Off (where we won 2^ndPlace for the People’s Choice), and Concert at the Park to name a few.
• There are such great organizations that have welcomed me to their meetings and/or events in town such as the Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, CPRLWF, AAUW, Camarillo Hospice, Pleasant Valley Historical Society, PVEA, PVSD, and Friends of the Library.
• The Ventura County of Education and the Pleasant Valley School District has provided new board member training in case we win the election.
