Please let me know what you want to do about these uncontested raises.

I have requested $500 for Martha Hill Jamison. My sources tell me that the=

Republican activist groups (Steve Hotze) will be supporting Frank Gerald ov=

Martha Hill Jamison. Perhaps we should hedge our bets on this race. Let m=

know what you think.

There is another race that we have never talked about that I would like you=

to consider. Michael Stafford is the First Assistant to Michael Fleming, t=

County Attorney. He is running for Johnny Holmes' office. This may fall=

under Joe Allen=01,s umbrella, but I think there is a tremendous benefit t=

giving some money to Mike Stafford. Steve Radack has informed me that he h=

look good to Mike Fleming and to Mike Stafford. I can personally attest th=
