Campaign Kickoff Huge Success
The Abbe Land for Assembly campaign kicked off yesterday amid great celebration and and a fervent call to action. The campaign headquarters was overflowing with supporters and volunteers, some of whom kept calling voters right through the noise of the event.
Abbe was joined by L.A. City Councilmember Jan Perry, Beverly Hills Councilmember Linda Briskman and West Hollywood Councilmembers Jeffrey Prang and John Heilman. Each of them took turns in praising Abbe’s experience and consensus building skills and describing how they uniquely qualify her for the job in Sacramento. And each exhorted Abbe’s supporters to step up their campaign effort now like never before. Abbe expressed her deep gratitude for the overwhelming support she has received. She then turned everyone’s full attention to the task at hand. “The time is now,”she said. “We will win on June 6 by reaching out to enough voters now with our positive message of progressive Democratic leadership in the State Assembly.”
She then pointed out that there was no substitute for one-on-one, direct communication with voters either by calling or going door-to-door and galvanized everyone into action. Folks signed up for the Saturday, April 15th walk and weekday evening phonebanking to help support her Democratic candidacy.
