Launching the Campaign

Today marked the 38th anniversary of the first Moon Landing, a particularly fitting day to launch Jay's campaign for US Senate. We're visiting all 10 of New Hampshire's counties over this weekend in our campaign Launch Tour. We'll be coming back for listening sessions over the next few months.

We had a packed schedule today with a press conference at the New Hampshire Technical Institute, Market Days in Concord, the Merrimack Restaurant in Manchester, Moose Mountain Daylilies and Democrats in Brookfield...

Tomorrow we'll be at farmers' markets in Lancaster and Barrington, the American Independence Festival in Exeter, the Ice Cream Shop in Jaffrey, and a house party in Plainfield. We'll close the day by opening the doors of our campaign headquarters in Lebanon.

Our campaign will be a true grassroots effort. The idea is for Jay to meet as many people as possible. He wants to engage in an active conversation with New Hampshire citizens about the issues affecting our state and nation. He has a vision for an America that inspires the nation with a new Apollo program, this time to develop the technology for a New Energy Economy that will protect America's leadership in the global economy and halt climate change. And he's just the right person for that job!

It was a treat to be out today meeting with people, and I know tomorrow will be great too. As Jay said, "What a great excuse to visit festivals!" We had a good time on the road.

The campaign has begun, and we're off to a great start.
