Victor’s email from August 25, 2020:
Dear Friend,
I am excited to share with you that more than 4,000 alumni have signed the petition! This means we are fewer than 400 signatures away from meeting our goal.
As we enter the final weeks of our campaign, could you do me a favor and ask a few more fellow alumni to sign? Sign online at this link or request a paper ballot at this link.
Your help today in gathering signatures will not only help me get onto the ballot, but also position our campaign for success in the actual election in May 2021. This is the first round and the next one will require extra effort to win.
I am deeply grateful for your continued support. Feel free to call me with questions at 865-712-5933. Together, I know we can get this done.
Best wishes,
Victor Ashe ’67
