OH-16: John Boccieri Made It to the Final 6!

Team,

Thanks to your incredible efforts, John Boccieri made it to the Final Six in 21st Century Democrats' online contest!

Now we've entered the final round. If John is among the top three candidates by Midnight on Tuesday, Sept. 31, he'll win at least $1,000 for his campaign - and could win two extra field organizers if he comes in first.

There are only 4 days left, and John is just 130 votes away from the Top Three.

Please vote one more time for John!

We have a very important week coming up.
Between Sept. 30 and Oct. 6, individuals are able to go to county Boards of Elections to register to vote AND vote at the same time.

We're still looking for volunteers to help make phone calls and knock on doors during this key week. To help out, please email Chris at cccupples@yahoo.com or call our main campaign headquarters at (330) 754-0534.

John's had an intense week. He's been focused on addressing the economic crisis - you can listen to his response here. But he also made it out to the Louisville Constitution Day Parade, the Medina Chamber of Commerce Candidates Forum, the Stark County Gun Collectors meeting, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) Annual Luncheon, and a house party in Massillon.

Here's John at the Louisville Parade:



Our latest Volunteer of the Week is Kathleen Purdy.
Kathleen is a resident of Alliance who has known John for many years. She has been volunteering on John’s Congressional campaign since before the primary election. As a teacher in the Plain Local Schools District, Kathleen voiced her appreciation for John and his leadership skills in a recent letter to the editor in the Canton Repository. Click here to read Kathleen's letter.

(By the way, writing a letter to the editor is a great way to support John! If you have questions about how to submit a letter, just ask our communications director, Bryan Collinsworth, at bryan@johnforcongress.com )
