Keeping Busy Like Nobody’s Business

Jorge and the rest of The Campaign to Elect Jorge Cornell have been very busy recently, and are producing tangible results.  Volunteers drove and directed roughly 30 people to vote for Jorge Thursday.  In addition, strong supporter Ms. Stover (pictured below with Jorge over the summer) told him she was able to turn out 10 people to vote for him Thursday as well.  Though official numbers aren’t available, it is clear to The Campaign that voter turnout in support of Jorge has been overwhelming this week and shows no sign of slowing.

Campaign volunteers have been hard at work, distributing hundreds of informational flyers.  A volunteer has been working diligently this week designing and ordering 5,000 informational cards for door-to-door campaigning in addition to the material we already have.  Another volunteer set up meetings with two current City Council members for next week.

Thursday afternoon, Jorge was able to catch the end of the groundbreaking for the Edible Schoolyard at the Greensboro Children’s Museum.  Though he had to pick up his daughters across town, he raced down to the groundbreaking event, which included numerous elected officials and famous author and educator Alice Waters.  The Edible Schoolyard is designed to teach children about health and where food comes from. 

Jorge was back out campaigning at night.
