The door hanger left in Lake in the Hills recently by candidate for Sheriff Mike Mahon.

This was left on the door knob of a Lake in the Hills home.

Note the

“Sorry I missed you – Mike”

Post-It note from the Democratic Party candidate for Sheriff, Mike Mahon, himself.

I used to write the same thing on campaign literature I left at doors.

One observation leads to some advice.

When I was knocking on doors in my 1966 primary campaign for County Treasurer, my goal was 50 doors an hour.

I could not reach that goal if I talked to anyone more than five minutes.

Mahon was not close to that many household contacts the day this campaign piece was left, even though the neighborhood homes are close.
