This Week: Parade, Meetings, and More!
Monday, June 30th, 2008Thanks to you, the first month of our campaign for Harrisonburg City Council has been a great success! We have a team coming together, a strategy for moving forward, and are about 20% to our fundraising goal.
There are three simple ways that you can help this week:
1. Attend Harrisonburg’s Valley 4th Celebration on Friday - and Join our Parade Entry!
The local Democrat Committees have a parade entry in Friday’s 4th of July Parade. Supporters of Barack Obama, Mark Warner, Sam Rasoul, and our fellow local candidates will join us! Our campaign will have signs and lapel stickers - and we need supporters to wear them! Parade line up is at 4:15 behind the Municipal Building. Click here for details.
I need your help meeting Harrisonburg’s voters. I set a goal to have 10 House Parties in July. These are very simple to host: Pick a date and time for a one hour informal meeting, send invitations to your network, and I’ll attend and introduce myself. Please be in touch if you’re interested! Breakfasts, evenings (5-10pm), and weekends work best for me. Reply if you’re interested! There is a volunteer / info session at 4:00pm at Clementine Cafe on Sunday July 6 at 4:00pm. Please come by to get in the loop moving forward (there’s also a wonderful show later that evening, Miss Tess at 9pm).
2. Contribute to Kai Degner for City Council
Thanks to so many of you who have donated so far in the campaign! Every single donation - from $5 to $500 - brings us a step closer. Checks can be written to Kai Degner for City Council and mailed to 676 East Wolfe St, Harrisonburg, VA 22802 - or click to donate online!

Add Kai Degner Badge to Website!
Sunday, June 29th, 2008
This image will be used to support the campaign in the early going - please spead it around! We’ll be featuring it at Valley 4th, Harrisonburg’s largest downtown event of the year. I’m excited about the whole event, and look forward to walking with Democrats in the parade. Look for lapel stickers there!
The badge can be added to websites rather simply. Just link to

Volunteer Meeting Saturday 4 pm
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008I will have the first open volunteer meeting Saturday at 4pm at Clementine Cafe’s Lounge (downstairs). Please come to find our how to participate in our campaign for a seat on City Council. I will share information on how to help, including calls, hosting meetings, convening discussions, and more. Come out to get involved and, whether you can make it or not, make sure you’re on the email list!
Leading in the Online Poll
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008It’s unscientific. It’s not a quality representative sample. It’s influenced a bit by our promotion.
And it sure looks good! As of 8pm today, we’re leading in the online poll of voters. Vote here if you can vote in the city.
The Harrisonburg Democratic Nominations
Monday, June 9th, 2008The Harrisonburg Democratic Committee officially endorsed a full slate of candidates for November’s election. Dave Wiens and Richard Baugh join me as nominated Democrats running for City Council, and Bill Ney is nominated for Treasurer. The Rockingham County Democratic Committee nominated Esther Nizer for Commissioner of Revenue.
Thanks especially to everyone who came out to support me at the caucus!
Updated Get Involved and Donate Pages
Sunday, June 8th, 2008The Get Involved and Donate pages have been updated with additional information about how to get involved in the campaign. The only way this campaign will be successful is with your help! If you are interested in smart growth, open government, citizen education, and energy efficiency, please CLICK HERE TO GET INVOLVED!
