Hi Linda,

It was good to talk with you just now via telephone. This email will 
acknowledge receipt of your email copying the mail you sent by certified 
mail (which was erroneously returned by the USPS marked "No such number"!).

The current status of our campaign with regard to the KET criteria is:

 1. We have qualified for a place on the general election ballot as
    determined by the Kentucky Secretary of State.
 2. We have an active campaign website at
    https://hickscormicanforkentucky.com which does contain public
    policy statements.
 3. We intend to (try to) raise at least $100,000 in monetary
    contributions for the current election as documented on the “60 Day
    Pre-General Report” filed with the Kentucky Registry of Election
    Finance.

I appreciate your diligence in getting this message to us.

Regarding future contact:

    We do have a Post Office Box that /may/ be more reliable than my
    home address:

        Hicks/Cormican for Kentucky
        P.O. Box 11936
        Louisville KY 40251-0936

    You may direct future email to me at
    johnhicks at hickscormicanforkentucky.com or to both myself and my
    running mate, Ann Cormican, at johnandann at hickscormicanforkentucky.com.

    Also, you are welcome to call me directly (avoiding the voicemail)
    at my smartphone number, 502-509-5098.

Thanks again for your good efforts,

John Hicks
Libertarian Candidate for Governor
Hicks/Cormican for Kentucky
502-509-5098
