The view outside my office

I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but I’ve decided to try it again.

I’ll kick things off with a couple of cool snaps I took from my office window a few weeks ago. I’m on the 5th floor of a building at Kellogg and Rock Road in Wichita, KS. I have the honor of looking over the flight line at McConnell Air Force Base.

It’s been a while

I can’t believe it has once again been several months since my last post. I guess I have been just a bit busy…but still, I suppose that’s no excuse.

Since it’s been a while, I thought I’d share this photo with you. Today is the first Saturday since I don’t remember when that I don’t have to walk in a parade. Allie is very sad because she’s missing out on candy and riding in here Team Pompeo wagon. Daddy, meanwhile, enjoyed sleeping in.

Odd to be out of the chase

Well, I knew it would be odd.

It appears the severe weather season finally began in southcentral Kansas this week and on Monday, I must admit I was a little stir crazy. It was the first time since I left KFDI that my colleagues were out chasing big storms and I wasn’t involved. Odd, indeed.

I was sort of involved. I followed along on Twitter and watch the NWS chat log among meterologists in the area, but it just wasn’t the same.

With that said, there is one aspect of severe weather chasing I don’t miss. Now when the weather alert radio blasts off the nightstand in the middle of the night, I can roll over and go back to sleep!

YIKES…it’s been more than a month

YIKES!

It’s been more than a month since I’ve been creative enough to blog.  I think the problem is I’ve been busy living my life.  Or it could be that I’ve been too lazy.  You decide.

A lot has happened since my last update.  The new gig is still rockin’; Team Pompeo is picking up major momentum with all sorts of new endorsements and exciting things happening in the office. K-State basketball is in the big Dance and the ACHS Jaguars won the KSHSAA Class 5A Girls State Championship. Also, Allie and Alicia still think I’m cool enough to be a daddy and a husband!  So, things are great!

Speaking of great…check out this video of Allie waving her American flag during a parade with Team Pompeo:

BIG endorsement for Pompeo For Congress

It began as a normal day in the Pompeo For Congress office on Tuesday; making media calls, working on news releases, updating the website, etc.

It’s all part of the day to day operations for a communications director for Congressional campaign.

Then came an e-mail, then several e-mails…then phone calls. The Club for Growth PAC announced Tuesday its endorsement of Mike Pompeo in the Kansas 4th District Congressioal race. We were wondering if and when an endorsement from the national PAC would come, but their standard operating procedure is not to make direct contact with the candidates they endorse. Instead, they post the release on their website (www.clubforgrowth.com) and then send out a news release from their own press office. 

Within a matter of minutes, I began working on our official  news release, audio statement, web update, Facebook post and Twitter alert.
