Sharen’s eight county tour ….

Sharen’s very excited to have been added the Democratic National Campaign Committee’s ‘Red to Blue’ program.  

According to the DCCC:

The Red to Blue program highlights top Democratic campaigns across the country, and offers them financial, communications, and strategic support. The program introduces Democratic supporters to new, competitive candidates in order to help expand the fundraising base for their campaigns.

Red to Blue was a proven success in the 2006 cycle. In 2006, the Red to Blue program raised nearly $22.6 million for 56 campaigns averaging $404,000 per campaign. Red to Blue was also responsible for solidifying the structure of dozens of campaigns and making a real difference for Democrats across America.

As promised, video of Sharen on the trail this weekend …

Sharen spent another busy day on the campaign trail today, meeting voters and talking to them about her plans to put us back on the right track.  We’ll have video (maybe without last week’s technical difficulties) as soon as possible, but we figured you’d want the rundown now.

We started the day in Springfield, with Sharen and a group of dedicated volunteers knocking doors to help get her message out.  

After a few hours of canvasing, it was off to North Hampton for the Clark County Democratic Party’s annual Truman Kennedy Picnic.  Sharen spoke with a number of Clark County residents about the campaign, and everyone’s really very excited.

Leaving the T.K. Picnic, Sharen headed over to Circleville for the Pickaway County Democratic Party’s Hog Roast.  The crowd at the cabin just east of Circleville was great and so was the hog - volunteers had been up all night tending the smoker.  Sharen spoke the the crowd, as did Rich Cordray, Democratic candidate for Ohio Attorney General, Ray Pryor Democratic candidate for Ohio’s 85th House District.

Sharen then headed back to Springfield for the new Springfield High School Athletic teams introduction where she met local athletes, their parents and supporters.  

Two counties. 189 Miles. 80 days left.
