Brookfield Election Nov. 5 th

The Brookfield Republicans had lost the last 3 elections. They really wanted to win this year.  They held dozens of meetings through the summer and fall. They got 19 candidates, Republican and A Brookfield Party, to run for all 19 offices (Dems could only find 11).  They spent many hot, and later cold, days going door to door to over 1000 homes.  They called over 4000 Brookfield homes.  They manned the HQ every day and all day on weekends for months.  They held Summer and Fall Socials, Octoberfests, coffees, etc.  They raised money and they donated themselves....until it really hurt.  They raised over $ 28,000 to support their candidates. They registered dozens of new voters.  And they won big.  They swept the field.  All 19 candidates won. Many won big, like by almost 500 votes for B of Ed and 225 for B of Finance.  I dont want us to forget all the hard work and planning and donating that made this victory possible.  Thank you to all who worked so hard, day after day after day, and gave so much. Bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving.
