How to Succeed in Campaigns (While Really Trying)

Last Chance for Camp Wellstone 2007!


Dear Editor,

Last Tuesday, at least 20 graduates of Camp Wellstone were elected to local offices all across the country. John Marchione is the new Mayor of Redmond, WA. Martina Hone is now serving on the School Board of Falls Church, VA. And two major Minnesota cities now have progressive majorities on the city councils thanks to our alums - Russ Stark and Melvin Carter in St. Paul, and Tony Cuneo, Jeff Anderson, and Sharla Gardner in Duluth. Check out the full list of alumni victories by clicking here.

With these elections behind us, we can now turn our attention to training candidates and organizers for 2008. Don't miss out on our last Camp Wellstone this year!
