Want to Know Why We’re Having This Contest?

On a recent flight from NYC, agency partner Liz Arreaga met another woman that lives here in Austin and they got to talking about the election. Soon the talk turned to voting and what they personally could do to get people to show up at the polls. By the end of the flight, they had a bet going – the person who could get the most people to go out and vote, gets treated to dinner by the other.

Out of this, a contest was born.

Oh, and just so you know, we aren’t collecting email addresses, selling you anything, etc. Liz just hates to lose a bet.
