Hey guys!
It is an insanely busy week to get this blog up and running! I am a volunteer/events coordinator for Colleen Callahan for Congress, so this last week is crunch time in the 18th district! We are calling volunteers and getting our Get Out the Vote plan running at full speed! It's a pretty exciting time to be into politics if I do say so myself!
Last week we had a pretty well attended press conference at the Old State Capitol in downtown Springfield. The candidate, Colleen Callahan was addressing her opponent's misconduct as a notary. Before this campaign I had worked solely in federal offices, so seeing larger press conferences is a pretty cool experience. I got to have some some very interesting conversations with Shelia Simon, daughter of the late US Senator from Illinois, Paul Simon. I also had a chance to speak with the Springfield Mayor, Tim Davlin, about how much a Basketball team featuring Barack Obama, Alexi Giannoulias, and Abraham Lincoln would dominate! Gotta love some Illinois politicians!
I am going to try and blog from the campaign headquarters just about everyday up until the election on Nov. 4th to give you guys a little bit of an inside look!
See ya next time!
+ Samantha
