This has been a fun week!
We have a goal of doing thirty house parties in thirty days starting in mid-August. We’ve started scheduling and organizing these in earnest and it looks like I’m going to have a crazy schedule. I’m looking forward to meeting lots of new folks, talking about the campaign, how we can win this seat and improve the 4th CD’s representation in Washington.
We can always use more help so if you are interested in hosting a party drop a note to Susan@markeyforcongress.com and one of our coordinators will get back in touch with you.
As I have mentioned before, I find it extremely heart warming when people go out of their way to support me. And while it has been great getting the endorsements of important business and political leaders I have to say my best endorsement to date came this week when Jon Magnie of the Subdudes volunteered to play at a party for me! These guys are in the middle of a massive 50-dates-plus U.S. tour in advance of the release of their new album STREET SYMPHONY so I’m truly honored. If you haven’t heard them play you have to make it a point to do so.
We are presently looking for a good indoor or outdoor venue for this sometime in October or November. If you have any thoughts let us know by dropping an email to info@markeyforcongress. Stay tuned for an announcement of the date etc.
Thanks for your interest in the campaign.
Betsy
