Vanessa Waguespack Anseman states that as a first -time candidate entering a special election, there was an enormous learning curve involved in just a short period of time. She states all Election Code rules were followed, and no other deadlines were missed, or guidelines overlooked. Unfortunately, she states it was either not calendared correctly or she just overlooked the date. Following the April 19, 2017 filing, she states no money was raised, spent, withdrawn, loaned or deposited in any way, shape or form in furtherance of any type of campaign.
