Carole Migden Re-Election Kick-Off-April Calendar



































First of all, if you got this blog twice that is because my cat walked across my laptop and pubished my blog before it was completed! How did she do that??? I guess that is a hint I need to go play with my cat.......

On Saturday State Senator Carole Migden had her Re-Election Campaign Kickoff at her headquarters at 121 9th Street, San Francisco. You can't get any better then being introduced by former State Senator John Burton and the Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.

John Burton is a good friend, having supported Carole for the State Senate race from the beginning (he supported Carole because he wanted to continue the continuity of what he had started in the State Senate).
Burton emphasized that it was going to be a close race with low turnout so that every vote counted. GOTV is crucial. He told the story of Congressman Phil Burton at the end of a long day not wanting to go up all the steps to a home in Potrero Hill. When Phil got to the top he found out there were five registered voters - who eventually voted for Phil every time, and then also voted for Congresswoman Sala Burton and John Burton. (The famous Burton machine - hard work).

Darrell Steinberg got up to speak - not really well known in the Bay Area. Steinberg was born in San Francisco - which is great - you could tell he really liked San Francisco (you know - we weren't those crazy people from San Francisco). He talked about Carole's accomplishments and how much he admired her hard work for her constituents.

Afterwards people phone banked and walked precincts. Jack Gribbon (the well-respected organizer) spoke about the process. Attending the Kick Off included City Attorney Dennis Herrera, Supervisor Aaron Peskin, Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, Cris Arguedas, Michael Goldstein, Rafael Mandelman, Sue Maher, Ray Berard, Margel Kaufman, Jeannie Maher, Susan Johnson, Clay Harrell, Agar Jaicks, Buck Bagot, Debra Walker, LeAnne Prifiti and Roma Guy .
