Ted Yoho Makes the Ballot by Petition

U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., announced on Thursday that he made the ballot by petition as he runs for a second term in Congress.

I am thrilled that our team is the first to qualify on the 2014 ballot, Yoho said. It is no easy task to collect nearly 4,500 petitions and I couldnt be more humbled by the outpouring of support from our local communities.

Carolyn, our team and I want to thank all of the hard-working, dedicated volunteers, and supporters that helped us achieve our goal of qualifying by the petition method, Yoho continued. It was important for us to qualify via the petition method instead of spending the precious donation dollars received by you, our valued individual supporters. We thank you for both.

We began our campaign years ago as a small, grassroots movement and remain committed to that still, Yoho said in conclusion. I look forward to seeing old friends on the campaign trail as well as new ones as we begin a new election year. The issues that impact our neighborhoods each and every day is what I have been and will continue to focus on. Its time to put America first.
