I read in the Daily News today that John Edwards is paying for haircuts that cost from $225 to $400 out of his campaign contributions, including one haircut from a “a trendy salon and spa in Dubuque, Iowa.”
Since I am working hard right now to raise money for the last month of the campaign–and people comment about how I’m actually keeping my hair short during the campaign–I want everyone to know that I get my hair cut at Julius Scissor on Locust Street, as I have for 22 years, and that I pay for those haircuts out of my own pocket, except for one day, when I paid for my haircut, and my campaign manager’s, with the wrong checkbook. I repaid the campaign as soon as I discovered the mistake.
If you want to help my campaign, you can do so by contributing on-line at http://www.stier2007.com/contribute.
Or you can come to our “Raise the Rent Party” this Friday, April 20, at Lucy’s Hat Shop, 247 Market Street from 7 pm to 9 pm.
Or you can come to a fundraiser in Villanova this Sunday, April 22, from 1 pm to 3 pm where you can meet former Congressman Joe Hoeffel and State Representatives Josh Shapiro and Rick Taylor
Or you can come to another fundraiser in Mt. Airy this Sunday, April 22, from 3 pm to 5 pm.
(email Andrew@stier2007.com for details about the last two events.)
Absolutely no campaign contributions go to haircuts, clothing–even though I had to buy seven white shirts for this campaign–meals, or anything else not directly related to convincing voters to fix the broken politics of Philadelphia.
Hope to see lots of you this weekend.

PS How can a salon in Dubuque be “trendy?”
