Ongoing activities

Scheduling Welty to travel the District putting up signs and selling book and lining up democratic, independent and sensible moderate republican votes for the open primary on August 13th

In May – Welty will use his charm to put up 50 or more big signs throughout Duluth

He will also seek out dozens if not more people to buy 1 to four books for themselves or others. Sales go to Welty Press which Harry will use to buy more books and with residue more campaign funds from his personal profits from book sales.

Donations are encouraged on his campaign website Welty4Congress

Donations will be encouraged on the last page of his eBook on Kindle.

Sales of eBooks will also be available for campaign spending from the candidate/publisher.
