PROGRAM- Roberta Filicky-Peneski gave a very interesting presentation of the ingredients to run a political campaign: people, places, things, time.  She declared she would run for Mayor on December 6, and by 7:30 that evening she had her first media interview. She made over 100 phone calls to those close to her before the news hit the media and to get a sample of opinions.  Five weeks to mobilize volunteers, donors, voters and throw in the mix a holiday or two.  Her daughter told her 'mom, you must use social media' and in less than an hour had 19 hits on facebook.  She did manage to get to Denver for time with her family for the holiday.  She spent many, many days door to door meeting voters with Tom serving as the weather forecast monitor.  She spent a lot of time with media, TV 12,4,6; trying to appease them with media bites as they covered the unique Sheboygan Mayoral recall.  The number of candidates added a very unique challenge to what was a very smaill window of campaigning-but never say never, she may be back.
