Last night I attended a House Party/Meeting of sorts. It reminded me of working as an Obama Fellow during the presidential campaign. The gathering was called a "Prosperity Party" hosted by the Campbell family in College Park. It was themed as a prosperity party in an effort to give friends, family, and other guests an opportunity to express their hopes and wishes for a prosperous 2009. It began as a typical New Year's party with snacks, playoff football, and networking. Later the host opened the floor for people to express their feelings about how they would contribute to making 2009, a great year and what they hoped it would become.
As a candidate for State Senate District 35, I took this incredible opportunity to discuss my platform with would be voters as many were residents of College Park, and south Fulton county. I discussed affordable healthcare for Georgians, how the state can help to prevent home foreclosures, and my ideas about the development of an improved transist system for Georgia. I introduced myself to those who were new, but many were co-workers and some I had met briefly on other occasions. I spoke briefly and gained a few volunteers too. But overall I enjoyed the atmosphere and spirit of the occasion. I look forward to attending more intimate gatherings as we move forward in our campaign.
