Thanks to everyone who came out to support Dave Tritt and Jason Gallion Saturday, July 24th at the Country Cookout at Mrs. Shirley Hooper’s home. It was a very hot day, but the turnout was still good.
An extra special thanks goes to the love of my life for over 20 years, Beverly-for putting up with all this political stuff on a daily basis. Bev is the best wife and mother in the world, and she is also my best friend. So much goes on behind the scenes in a campaign, and I could never do this without her love, advice, and support.
Thanks to my children- Julia, Jim, Christiana, Mark, Nathan, Matthew, Amanda, and Alyssa for supporting and helping their dad in this race.
A very special thanks to Mrs. Hooper for her endorsement, and for hosting such a special event. The event could never have happened without her hard work and planning, as well as the hard work of Rocky, Ed, Ruth, and Randy.
Thanks to Mike and Janice Smith- “Smith’s Pits” for the great food!
Thank you David Hopkins for the excellent corn!

I am really looking forward to this picnic. Mrs. Hooper’s home is a gardener’s dream come true. The view, the music, the food and most important, the opportunity to move the campaign forward for Dave and Jason are more than enough reasons why this will be a great event!
The Picnic was really great. My wife, Ginny, & I had a great time and met lots of like minded people who want to send responsible conservatives like Dave & Jason in Annapolis.
