And the Polls Close!
In the final hour before the polls closed, Naisy greeted residents at Warren Park along with several volunteers who joined her in spreading the word that Naisy is the right choice for alderman!
While greeting last minute voters and encouraging them to vote #52, Naisy also spent time introducing residents to each other and already began to build support within the community.
Stay tuned for photos and more updates!!

Notes from the Sunshine Crew
The "Sunshine Crew" drove around the ward and surprised our team of dedicated volunteers and pollwatchers with snacks and heat warmers! It's getting cold outside but our great team is continuing to work hard in the neighborhood, contacting last minute undecided voters.
Volunteers from other campaigns and election judges noted how great our operations are!
People all over are impressed with our operations. We now have enough volunteers to flood every precinct with door-to-door canvassers and pollwatchers.
1.5 hours until the polls close -- if you haven't voted, hurry and cast your vote for Naisy Dolar, #52!

Naisy spent the early afternoon eating lunch with volunteers, taking phone calls, doing interviews and going door-to-door in the neighborhoods. Naisy was interviewed by the Kindling Group which is working on a documentary and by the Medill News Service's Michael Shapiro.
Notes from the "Sunshine Crew"
At 8:00AM, the "Sunshine Crew" went around the ward to spread the energy of our campaign and to offer coffee, hot chocolate and donuts to volunteers. At each place we stopped, we were greeted by our dedicated volunteers in their yellow hats who were very excited to see our van, decorated with Naisy Dolar banners and blue and yellow balloons!
At 11:30AM, the "Sunshine Crew" met Naisy at Rogers School. Naisy was talking to various parents while the Sunshine Crew cheered for her and distributed coffee, hot chocolate and donuts to the children and their parents. Every parent was very excited to talk to Naisy and to hear about her run for alderman.
At noon, the "Sunshine Crew' cruised the ward and brought lunches to our committed poll watchers, who have been at the polls since 6AM!
We reinvigorated our volunteers and we even helped warm up the volunteers of other campaigns!
"Hot chocolate, hot coffee, a donut or two; vote for Naisy and mark #52!"

Naisy has breakfast at What's Cooking?
Naisy Dolar and her husband, Ben Cherek, shared breakfast at What's Cooking, just missing Berny Stone who had breakfast there earlier.
The restaurant is a Berny Stone hangout and located near his office, although several waitstaff stopped by to wish Naisy the best among whispers, "We hope you win!"
Meanwhile, back at Naisy's campaign headquarters, phone bankers are getting out the vote in a linguistic symphony of Tagalog, Vietnamese, English and Spanish.
And a second "Sunshine Crew" has also been dispatched with replenishments - yellow hats may yet chart the fashion scene in the 50th.
