This Saturday was a good example of an average day for me during campaign season. Hopefully, it will give you some insight as to what life is like on the campaign trail.

In the morning, I met a large group of supporters in Bonner Springs to walk in the Tiblow Days Parade. Despite the rain we had great turnout. After the parade, I had a campaign meeting at Moore for Congress headquarters over lunch, and then my wife, Stephene, and I went to the Maternal and Child Health Coalition Health Fair in KCK. It is a wonderful event with free health screenings, clothing, personal care products and donated food for mothers and children.

Then, it was off to a series of campaign house parties in Overland Park and Mission Hills. House parties are opportunities for me to visit with constituents in a relaxed setting and hear their thoughts about current events. Just this month we have had four house parties across the district, with many more to come.

Saturday evening I had a fundraiser called "Moore for our Kids" in Shawnee. A great group of public school teachers and parents hold this event annually to show their support for me and for strong public education. Thanks to everyone who attended.

Although it was a long day, Saturday gave me numerous opportunities to speak with my constituents and listen to their concerns. As August District Work period draws to a close, I want to let you know that it has been an honor to visit with so many of you while I've been home. I truly value district work periods and weekends when I get to come home to Kansas to see my family (especially my grandkids) and spend time with all of you!
