Kitty Piercy Kick Off Campaign

The Kitty Piercy kick off campaign held at Davis's Restaurant in downtown Eugene was a success. The restaurant was packed with Kitty supporters and media outlets as well.

Once again, it wasn't surprising for me and my friend Steve to be the only under 25 year old and under crowd. Nonetheless, I hoped it served its purpose of being at a major event like that to show the people of Eugene that young people are interested and active in politics.

As I walked into the event I received my button and signed up to get a Kitty Piercy sign. It's on my window now on the corner of 13th and Charnelton St. downtown.

The crowd was filled with some familiar faces including Lisa Arkin, from the Oregon Toxics Alliance. I officially endorse Kitty Piercy for re-election as she has done wonders for the community and she truely is a mayor for all of Eugene.

See Kitty on YouTube at this article. She attended an event called That's My Farmer where she gives a great speech about sustainability.
