Summary of 2nd Annual Democratic Candidate Training Project Session & Reports it was an Overwhelming Success!! - Way to go Team!!
The second annual session of the Red Clay Candidate Training Institute was an overwhelming success.
On Saturday, April 9, over 60 prospective candidates from around Georgia (residing in 49 different State House districts) spent 7 hours hearing focused, hard hitting presentations on how to run a winning campaign. Our excellent speakers included Rep. DuBose Porter, Sen. Kasim Reed, Rep. Calvin Smyre, Rep. Brian Thomas, Washington pollster Mike Bocian, Kristin Oblander (fundraising), Jon Anderson (direct mail) James Washburn, Esq. (campaign finance law), and Tharon Johnson (field operations).
“I run to win,” said one of our speakers. We share this philosophy, and that is why we held this training session. Winning takes hard work, and we were happy to work hard to bring campaign experts into the presence of our next generation of Democratic office-holders to hone their skills as they begin their journey into the calling of public service.
This event was offered free of charge to the prospects, with beverages, lunch, and a notebook included. This would not have been possible without the generous support of several people. The Red Clay Democrats would like to say thanks to those who provided support to make this event happen: Kilpatrick Stockton, LLP; The Barnes Law Group, LLC; Tommy Malone, Esq.; The Butler Wooten firm; and the Cobb County Democratic Party. Thanks also to all of our speakers, who generously gave of their time.
The next Red Clay Candidate Training Institute will be offered in January or February, 2006. Stay tuned for details at www.redclaydemocrats.org (where you can join the e-mail list and be assured of early notice of the application process).
