2024 Neighborhood Leader LaunchMore than 80 people turned out Feb. 2 for the 2024 Linn-Benton Neighborhood Leader Launch at Albany Public Library. The evening included food, fun (a not-so-easy U.S. political quiz with many bags of prizes for those with correct answers and close guesses) and a forward look to the 2024 campaign season. The Neighborhood Leaders will have twice-a-month Zoom meetings, starting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 12. A number of candidates will be included each of those weeks, and the group will continually hone the question "How do we frame our narrative?" said Linn County Neighborhood Leader Nancy Greenman, who emceed the launch. Former U.S. Rep Peter DeFazio, D-4th District, made a guest appearance via Zoom during Friday's event. "This is do or die for representative democracy in the United States of America," he said, noting that Donald Trump "wants to be a dictator" and the Trump campaign is much more organized this time around. "Any vote we can get anywhere in the United States of America will be critical." DeFazio noted that his Republican opponents always had bigger war chests. "I got outspent, but I won because of people like you" who knocked on doors and mounted other grassroots efforts. "I wish you good luck in 2024," he said. "Let's win in November and leave a great legacy for our kids and grandkids." |
