Campaign Journal, March 10, 2009

Our Campaign Journal is meant to provide a quick and easy way for you to stay connected in the month prior to our Consolidated Election on April 7^th. We also will be using these updates to solicit your opinions and ideas on emerging issues of importance so that I can best reflect your views during the many conversations I am having with voters and other candidates. I look forward to hearing your feedback.

Let’s Tell Everyone! and Neighborhood Gatherings

This weekend we will be hosting our second canvassing event meant to broaden awareness of our campaign and inform voters of upcoming election dates. We invite you and your family to join us on Sunday, March 15, 1:00 pm, at Coldwell Banker on Central Street. Additionally, Neighborhood Gatherings are being hosted throughout the 6^th Ward. These “coffees” provide residents with an opportunity to hear directly from candidates running for office. Upcoming Gatherings are posted on our web site and you can visit our campaign’s YouTube site to view portions of these conversations…

As we rapidly approach the Consolidated Election, we wanted to highlight upcoming Aldermanic Forums for 6^thWard candidates. On Thursday, March 19^th at 6:30 pm there will be a candidate forum held at the Evanston Public Library. Our campaign has also been working on an additional forum to be held in the 6^th Ward’s Hillside area. We have reached out to both opponents and are pleased that they have accepted invitations to participate. That candidate forum will be held on Tuesday, March 24^th, 7:00 pm at the Hillside Church, 2727 Crawford.
