Barack Obama to Hold Change We Need Rally in Harrisonburg Tuesday (more…)

Harrisonburg City Council candidates will participate in a public forum tonight.  Treasurer candidates will speak at 6pm.  Council candidates will speak at 7pm.  The forum is sponsored by the Community Mediation Center.  The forum is at JMU’s Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT) Building, in room 259.  This is likely a final opportunity to all the candidates together - see you there!

I just received news that our campaign has raised more funds than any other city council campaign in Harrisonburg as of September 30!  This is motivating and humbling, and demonstrates to me the desire Harrisonburg residents have for a new face on city council.  We are excited by the possibility of being more involved in the direction of our city, to growth in a more sustainable and thoughtful manner, and to be proactive in pursuing fresh ideas as we move forward.

Every single donation makes a difference.  There are still opportunities to get the word out about our campaign, and we can take advantage of them with additional support.  If you have not yet contributed financially, please take a moment and do so here.

Kai will join the other candidates for city council on the WSVA radio station from 10am-Noon tomorrow, broadcasting live from the Old Dominion Coffee Company.  Tune in or stop by!

In Virginia, if you are not registered to vote by October 6, you cannot vote.  In Harrisonburg, that means you lose your chance to vote for president, senator, congressman, treasurer, and, yes, city council.  Please urge all friends, family, and colleagues to register to vote this week!  It can be done online: http://www.rockthevote.org.

Join Kai at Clementine Cafe on Thursday night to join with enthusiastic supporters as we watch Barack Obama’s keynote address on the big screen! Kai will be filming campaign video, handing out yard signs, sharing his message of smart growth, energy efficiency, bikeable and walkable roads, and more.  Join him at 153 South Main St, next to Dave’s Taverna, from 8-11pm on Thursday!
