Obama organizing in Page County

Published by David Newman under News, Politics

The Obama campaign, which opened a field office in Harrisonburg a mere two weeks ago, held an organizational meeting at the county court house in Luray on Thursday evening. The event was well attended by enthusiastic supporters, who were nevertheless challenged to bring in additional volunteers and double the size of the next meeting.

Meanwhile, the campaign is emphasizing the importance of phone banking and knocking on doors in a coordinated fashion.

Local Obama staffer Camron Gorguinpour even suggested that the campaign would consider opening a Luray office if there were sufficient interest. For now, the nearest field office is located at 124 S. Main Street in downtown Harrisonburg.
