rss feedFormer Presidential candidate and current progressive Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich will be the featured speaker at a campaign rally and fundraiser for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jean Hay Bright on Monday, Oct. 9, at South Portland High School, 637 Highland Ave., South Portland.
The event, being organized with the help of the South Portland High School Young Democrats, will begin at 5:30 p.m. The emcee for the night will be Maine humorist Robert Skoglund, known as The humble Farmer. Also at the event will be Andover, MA, peace activist and folk singer Pat Scanlon. A Vietnam veteran, Scanlon last performed in Maine at the anti-war rally and march in Kennebunkport on August 26.
The event will be open to the public for no charge, with a suggested, but not mandatory, contribution to Hay Bright's campaign of $5 for students and $10 for adults.
Also working with Hay Bright on the event is Lu Bauer of Standish, a Democratic candidate for Maine House of Representatives in District 103. Bauer is a clean election candidate and not accepting campaign contributions. She and David Bright, Hay Bright's husband, served as co-coordinators of the Maine Kucinich for President campaign in 2003 and 2004.
Hay Bright was endorsed by Kucinich last spring, before the June primary. In announcing his endorsement, Kucinich said "The tide is beginning to turn nationally. Jean's election to the Senate will spark a new beginning not only in Maine, but across America.. Her courage and her heart are needed in the Senate. Jean can win in November because Maine is ready to vote for peace and sustainability."
