Grassroots Academy Wrap Up: Lincoln

Oct 25, 11:06 AM CST

Over 45 Democrats came to the CWA Hall in Lincoln last night for the Grassroots Academy. Catherine talked about our Field Plan for 2008, Ian talked a little about the local political landscape, and I finished up with a brief caucus training. Matt, Eric, and Clara were also there.

It was great to see quite a few new faces in and among the usual Democratic stalwarts. I was glad my parents showed up – it was nice to have someone there to laugh at my jokes.

All in all, I believe the training was an unqualified success.

Some pictures from the evening:


The crowd included several NDP Leaders, such as Audra Ostergard.


Matt thanks everyone for coming.

A special thanks to everyone who showed up.

The Lincoln training was the sixth session of Grassroots Academy; we have two left. Dave Wolf, Eric Fought, and I will be in Hershey on Sunday afternoon and Grand Island on Sunday night. Visit the Events Center to sign up.

  1. Once again proving Democrats are smarter than Republicans, 2 Erics and Dave schedule training sessions in Hershey and G.I. for opening weekend of pheasant season. Ice down the coolers, guys. It’s warm out there. Good luck, and be safe.
