Bruce Hentges

Senator SD 15

The Hentges Campaign: With a goal of many hundreds of voter contacts a week, the Hentges campaign is always active. We particularly appreciated the House and Senate staffers who doorknocked for the Hentges Campaign and the coordinated campaign this past week.

Events:
A highlight of the week was a campaign sponsored event featuring Senator Keith Langseth, Mayor Dave Kleis, and President Earl Potter. The topic was bonding as a critical means of investment in the economy of the city, state and ultimately in our quality of life.

VOLUNTEERS: To request a sign or to volunteer, email Bruce at bchentges@wildblue.net or call Alec at 229-3930 or Pat at 259-0984 or go to our website at www.brucehentges.com .
