Democrats Open Newark Office for Business, Welcome Volunteers
Newark – Delaware Democrats officially opened their Victory 2010 Coordinated Campaign office in Newark this Wednesday afternoon, hosting a kickoff party with volunteers and candidates in their new headquarters space.
The office, located at 350 College Square, will host volunteer for phone banks and canvassing daily throughout the November election.
Over 60 volunteers were greeted by U.S. Senate candidate Chris Coons and U.S. Congressional candidate John Carney, as well as many other state and local elected officials and candidates.
Coons and Carney both thanked the volunteers for their enthusiasm and fired up the troops for an evening of phone calling. Carney said:
“One of the things I believe strongly in as a Democrat, as a long-time Democrat, as a volunteer going back a number of years, as somebody who worked for other elected officials, as a candidate, and an office holder, and now as a candidate again – that this is a team sport…”
“The idea that we are opening this beautiful facility in this place, and we have all these people, at almost 6 o’clock on a Wednesday afternoon on September the first – this is unbelievable! And I’ll tell you what, it makes me a believer.”
