Campaign Sign Arrival

Everyone knows that candidate signs are an important part of a successful political campaign, so when the campaign signs arrived, we were excited. The design had been carefully thought out with a red background, big bold letters, and a check box with a check mark indicated a "yes" vote for Linda Graham. The design was formulated back in Peoria, IL when Linda ran for school board and won. Many community members volunteered their yards to display the signs and we want to thank them for their participation. Pictured here with Linda is Katy Graham, Linda's daughter, and acting campaign manager. They are standing in front of the Grace Community Church parsonage, the Graham's home in Boulder City.

Volunteer Squad

Joan McCartney has played a significant role in helping with Linda's campaign. Linda met Joan through her work with the American Legion Auxiliary and Boulder City Republican Women. Linda's fliers were blanketed all throughout Boulder's City's neighborhoods and Joan single-handedly folded those fliers and stuffed them into weather safe plastic bags so that they would be ready for those voter's doors. We want to extend a special thanks to Joan for her dedication and selfless help in making the door to door campaign a success. Thanks Joan, you're terrific!

Linda's Speech at Boulder City Republican Women's Celebration of Reagan's 100th birthday

On Thursday, February 17th, Linda and a couple of other city council candidates spoke for 2 minutes a piece at the Reagan 100th birthday celebration. Her speech is below:

"My name is Linda Graham, candidate running for City Council. I am a caring individual, with common sense and a hard worth ethic. I have a wide breadth of political experience, serving 6 years on the East Peoria, Illinois, District 309 School Board.

While residing in Illinois, I had the privilege of being mentored by Congressman Bob Michel who served as minority leader during the George Bush, Sr. presidential administration. During this time I learned the rigors of campaign work.

During my tenure in Michigan, I served on the Wexford County Conservation District. I worked closely with the Department of Agriculture on agricultural issues that affected the gross national products of Michigan. We were responsible for the replanting of forest areas endangered by the logging industry and the well being of parts of Lake Michigan. We supervised a groundwater grant for Wexford County that insured the assess of water for Wexford County.

While residing in Santa Barbara I was a member of the Republican Central Committee and President of the Montecito Hope Ranch Republican Club.

I was asked to serve on the Goleta Water District Advisory Committee. We studied water problems in Santa Barbara County and water rates. By all three districts working together we were able to build a new water filtration system and water storage units.

While residing in Iowa, I served on the Hancock County Republican Central Committee. I was voted by my peers to serve as a delegate to the County Caucus and then as a State Delegate to represent the Iowa Republican Party.

As a member of the Boulder City Council, I will listen carefully to the citizens, as well as consider thoughtfully each item that is brought to the agenda for consideration.

In my opinion, the three issues that are most pressing at this time are the reduction of the 96 million dollar deficit, elimination of traffic congestion with the completion of the Hoover Dam Bypass and maintaining the quality of life of the citizens of Boulder City.

Today I am asking for your vote in the Primary Election on April 1st, 2011.

American Legion and Red Shirt Day in Boulder City

Pictured here are Linda and David Graham on Friday morning outside the Boulder Dam Hotel and Linda at her American Legion Meeting on Veterans Day 2011.

Our troops pay the price everyday for our freedoms here in our great country, the United States of America. To show our support, Boulder City residents wear red on Fridays to commemorate them in a small way. Linda Graham currently serves as the President of the Boulder City American Legion Auxiliary Unit 31. The Auxiliary's mission is to serve veterans, their families, and their communities. Their contributions include academic scholarships, fundraising for disabled veterans, taking in supplies for our troops, and placing flags on each of the Boulder City veterans' graves on Memorial Day. Linda knows first hand the sacrifices of our fighting troops as she grew up as a military kid as the daughter of a Chief Master Sergeant in the Airforce, the sister of an enlisted army veteran, and the mother of a former Airmen in the Air National Guard. Let's continue to honor our troops and pull out our favorite red clothing items on Fridays.

Who is the Common Sense Candidate?

Linda Graham is the common sense candidate. With many years of public service in multiple facets, she brings to the table a listening ear and a tactical approach. Linda is married to Rev. David Graham, Sr. Minister at Grace Community Church in Boulder City. They’ve been married 38 years and have 4 children and 13 grandchildren. She currently serves as President of the Boulder City American Legion Auxiliary – Post 31, and is a member of the Boulder City Community Club. Her past experience in public service includes 6 years on the East Peoria, IL school board, 2 years on the Wexford County Conservation District Board, 2 years on the Santa Barbara Water District Advisory Committee, and was voted ‘Woman of the Year’ for Santa Barbara Business and Professional Women in 2006. Linda’s top three campaign initiatives are reducing the 96 million dollar debt, executing the most efficient strategy to implement the Hoover Damn Bypass, and opening up a more friendly forum for the citizens of Boulder City to voice their concerns to be heard and considered by the council. Linda Graham would appreciate your vote in the upcoming city council election.
