I\u2019m asking supporters to write in my name in the very last box on the bottom of the ballot. The election commission will accept\u00a0misspelling, but it has to be kept within the write-in box. Voters can write &#8220;JLundrigan&#8221; or &#8220;JimL&#8221; to make it easier.<\/p>\n<p>Please continue to support me by the write-in vote in this November\u2019s election.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions\/concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at 315-240-3244.<\/p>\n<p>Again, thank you for your continued support.<\/p>\n<p><em>Yours truly, Jim Lundrigan, Madison<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To the Editor: As you know, election day is not far away.
