Jen and I got great seats for today’s town hall in Natick – looks like a couple of thousand voters showed up, here’s a few pics…
The line to get in:
The crowd:
And my all-time favorite senator:
Future Senate President Karen Spilka opened the speaking portion of the program, and when she introduced Elizabeth, our senator came running down the hill and went through the crowd to get to the stage. She spoke briefly about why she’s in this fight and then took questions from the audience, which were mostly about immigration but also about the Supreme Court and other issues. The main message? Get out and vote, and bring friends with you.
Thousands of folks bringing their families out to this event, on a Sunday afternoon in mid-summer, gives me hope for November. Let’s get fired up and do this!
My wife and I saw Liz and Bruce at church this morning! I got a wave in after her attempts to worship incognito were dashed by the pastor praising her as one of the “United Methodists fighting for righteousness in Washington” to a round of applause from the congregation. She then made the rounds for handshakes with some of the ushers in the back before heading out the door, apparently to Natick!
I wonder if the pastor intended that comment as a dig at Jeff Sessions, also a United Methodist who has caught flak from the church for family separation. I doubt Sen. Warren could stay incognito very long comment or not.
