In Campaign

Day 93 in our countdown to Primary Day, September 4.

Morning with Ann, my wife, and our daughter, Chloe. (Isaiah was at a birthday sleepover!)

Great breakfast. Chores. A walk with Otis, our dog. Chloe reminded us today is Otis’ 3rd birthday. So, of course, we dug up requisite treats.

And lots of email.

11:00 a.m.: Core campaign crew arrives at my home. 10 incredible organizers, strategists, campaigners pile in for a two-hour planning meeting. We meet by phone with the person who’s built our voter ID model and discuss door knocking, phone calling, and get out the vote (GOTV) strategy.

1:00 p.m.: The Northampton team arrives for a Northampton kick off led by the incredible campaign chair and Northampton field organizer, Pamela Schwartz. The energy is electric. (One picture above; one below.)

2:00 p.m.: I zoom off to Greenfield for a tremendous house party thanks to Mary and Al Siano and Cate Woolner. Fabulous conversation with folks from Greenfield, Montague, Deerfield, Northfield, and Sunderland. (A couple of pictures below.)

3:00 p.m.: Ann goes to an event at the Northampton Survival Center, which is one of the organizations Ann and I feel lucky to support.

5:30 p.m.: Home for dinner, kid baths, a run to the grocery store, a few loads of laundry for the week, lots of books, and kiddo bedtime.

8:30 p.m: More email. And still more:).

9:40 p.m.: Write to you.

And make sure to add in pictures!
