The People

I met so many wonderful people during my time in Delaware County. In addition to campaign staffers Beth, Cindy, and Billy, another fixture in the office was Richard, a former campaign staffer who worked the final days on the Pennsylvania campaign as a volunteer with an insider's perspective.

Jamee came to the office with her 3 daughters (Casey, 9; Madison, 5; and Laura, 2) to make signs and do visibility. We covered the girls in stickers and sent them out to a local street fair where they handed out fliers for an event with Chelsea Clinton. Later they went to the Chelsea event.

Debi and Debbie arrived on Saturday and seemed tireless in their canvassing and visibility. They arrived with their own 4' x 8' sign that they drove around Delaware County to various visibility events. One or both of them has been traveling with the campaign since early in the year. I regret that I didn't have more time to chat with them and learn their stories.

Barry is naturalized citizen from Afghanistan. He left Afghanistan during the war with the Soviets. He has a personal history with the Clintons from when his daughter died in 1995. I didn't understand the complete story, but I was touched by the fact that he received a personal condolence letter from the President and First Lady that meant a great deal to him. He is actively campaigning for another Clinton presidency.

On Sunday, a group of about 30 volunteers arrived from Westchester County, NY. This group of volunteers was mostly made up of personal friends and fundraisers for Senator Clinton. They were fired up to get out the vote for their friend!

I met so many more wonderful people. Clare and her dog, Hadley, from Washington, D.C. MaryEllen and Gladys, Robin, Kirby, Saiyada, Jeanne. The list could go on. I'll remember them and our shared passion for getting Hillary Clinton elected President!
