OK, here are my statements.  I know it’s not your doing personally, but am rather disturbed at having been given only three days’ notice of the deadline.  I informed the League of my intention to run on October 4, and I have had several e-mail exchanges with the chair of the Nominating Committee since then.  If I had been out of town over the past weekend on business, I might not have seen your message until the deadline had passed.  Election procedures — one more thing to me address if I am elected!

I include contact information in the following statements.  If my postal address, phone number, e-mail address and Web site URL are included *outside* my statement but along with it, then I will be happy to revise the statement to avoid repeating them.  I will phone you about this. [John’s candidacy statement followed in the original message and is included on the ballot page reproduced on this Web site.]
