At the 2022 Douglas County Gala on June 18, Bob was awarded the Democrat of the Year award. He had this to say about receiving the award:
Well this was a nice surprise. DougCo Democrats voted me Democrat of the Year!
Never received a Republican of the Year award in over 30 years as a Republican. And never received Unaffiliated of the Year in 4 years (unaffiliated). But 7 months as a Democrat...
But the year is not done so this puts pressure to perform and run through the finish line...
(Although I have to say I was quite jealous of Braeden Miguel's YOUNG Democrat of the Year award...but there is always next year)
