On February 17, 2012 Joe filed to run for reelection. With the help of volunteers, Joe was able to get his name on the ballot by collecting over 2100 signatures. On August 14th Joe lost by only 494 votes. It was a race filled with negative mailers, phone calls, and even a TV ad against Joe. Joe held to his principals of being honest and did not send one attack mailer. It appears some want to win at any cost, even if they cordinate a campaign of lies. The money behind the attacks mostly came from one developer that hid behind a PAC. After 22 years Joe has a record to be proud of and thanks all those who supported his efforts.
