The most exciting news I’ve ever had the
opportunity to share: thanks to the tireless
efforts of our volunteers we will have a
campaign office this year. We’ve found a
spot, thanks to Sharon Treat and others: 210
Water Street in Hallowell. Because of the
time-sensitive nature of the vote (get us set
with the office in time for Old Hallowell Day,
and before we lost the space to another
tenant), the motion was made at last week’s
Executive Committee meeting to spend up to
$4000 for a campaign office. The motion was
passed, unanimously, and we’re in the
process of getting ready for a “sneak
peek” event on Saturday, when thousands of
folks will be walking by. I would like a vote
by this committee under new business.
Other good news: we had a fabulous
turnout (far, far better than the GOP, I’m
told) at the July 4th parades in
Winslow and Augusta, and helped the Winslow
Dems in their fundraising efforts at Fort
Halifax Park.
Nominating caucuses were held for three
house districts. Anna Blodgett is the new
candidate for HD 56 in Augusta; Peggy Dwyer
will run in HD 81 (Wayne), and
Sam Bromberg was elected to run in HD
78 (Sidney, part of Oakland).
