Election Day!

Jud & Jane in the Big-Rig

Our groovy mayoral candidate, Tyler Allen, is out talking to voters this morning. He'll be voting himself at Chenoweth Elementary at 10 am, btw, if you want to catch up with him.

In the meantime, the HQ is hoppin'! Tyler's pastor, Jud Hendrix, and friend Jayne Culp (Today's her birthday!), just disembarked on their mission of driving the Tyler Big-Rig about town. I told them to head to Dixie Highway but I'm hoping they are thoughtful and go get us some donuts first. A big truckload of donuts. Yes. I don't know what Jud's doing with his fingers. I think it's a TA? Or a peace sign with a T.

If you have anytime to volunteer today, just stop by the headquarters. Also, we still need a Big-Rig drivers for 2 shifts- 1230-230 & 230-430! Call HQ if this is you- 502-742-8252.

Finally, don't forget our election return party tonight. It will be from 7-10 pm at BBC, 636 East Main Street, beside our HQ. Peace.

Tyler Allen Caring about Southwest Issues

Councilman Rick Blackwell hosted a mayoral forum focusing on Southwest Louisville issues on April 20th. As you can see, it was PACKED, and Tyler stayed until then. The pic with janitor, not staged. He's always the last one to leave. All these awesome photos are compliments of photographer Joey Wilkinson, pro-bono!

3 More Reasons People are Voting for Tyler Allen

For whom the bridge tolls...

"...We need something different, and I need your help to send a powerful message that the future of Louisville can be better and smarter. I need your help on May 18th. A vote for Tyler Allen for mayor of the city of Louisville will bring us that different future..."

J-town Awesomeness

Following this mornings Easter Parade (Extensive media to follow in coming days), Tyler made it out to the Jeffersontown EasterFest where Radio Disney was entertaining the kiddos with music, games and prizes. Tyler's business, USA Image Technologies, is actually located in J-town.

More than one supporter brought to Tyler's attention that a huge factor in Louisville's economic challenges is the lack of an East-end bridge. One lady we talked to said that her friends and family in Ohio and California have inquired to her what's wrong with Louisville because we can't seem "to finish our expressway." There's a clear consensus, like Tyler's said all along, to "Build the East End Bridge Now," and the only way that can happen is if we elect leadership that cares what ALL Louisvillians have to say, and are not beholden to the voices of only a few.

Gallery Hop Awesomeness

Made it to the Derby Hop. Here Tyler is pictured with gallery-owner and supporter, Chuck Swanson. Also made it to Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts, and the Urban Design Studio. After a great night at the hop, this was Tyler's tweet:

"this city is way cool on trolley hop night... east market would be wrecked by 15 yrs of construction for a 23 lane wide spaghetti junction"

We simply can't allow that to happen. There is a better way.

In case you want the back-story, the neighborhood toured is located off Cane Run Road in Southwest Jefferson County.
