Over 175 people showed up yesterday evening in Morgantown to hear Sue Thorn formally announce that she is running for Congress. There were people from eleven different counties in the 1st Congressional District, including those who made the long drives from Ohio, Marshall, and Wood Counties. There were elected officials, the press, county Democratic Executive Committee members, business owners, union workers, students, and just plain folks.

Visit Sue's web site or Facebook page for more.

Update: There were also people from Barbour County, so that makes 11.

Amazing turnout.... (4.00 / 3)

Not only were the numbers amazing, but the excitement of those attending was overwhelming, especially for an early event in a Congressional campaign.

These folks were not just coming to another political event, but were so hungry for some real representation of real people that they reacted to Sue Thorn's words with the animation usually reserved for rallies immediately preceding an election (which is, in reality, months ahead!)

"Something is happening here," folks!

A great sign (0.00 / 0)

Looks like a great beginning.
