  • EC 18 Pete House Party in Ossipee NH
    This is audio of a @PeteButtigieg house party that was held today at a home in Ossipee New Hampshire about an hour and a half drive from Ocean Park. I arrived early so that I could volunteer. First I was going to be working with the press but there weren’t that many press here so I ended up being the guy who was helping people find the main entrance to the backyard where Pete gave brief remarks and answered questions. #WinTheEra

    This is the third of three episodes that I recorded today at Mayor Pete's outdoor rally in Dover, NH. Afterward he held a brief gaggle with reporters.

  • EC 15 Prelude to Pete in Dover

    If you're curious how Mayor Pete's New Hampshire operation sounds, the three speakers who took the stage today in Dover, NH, provide some clues. In this episode you will hear Jim Vershuren, chair of the Dover NH Democrats; Amelia Matier, deputy state director for Pete in NH, who was hired in June after work on two successful state legislature campaigns in California, and New Hampshire State Rep. Matt Wilhelm, who today endorsed Pete for President, citing the National Service plan that Pete announced last week. 

    In a leafy town park in Dover, these speakers warmed up an already enthusiastic crowd number around 800 people. In the next episode you will hear Pete's talk and the Q&A.

    The photo for this episode is of Alex Alpert a student at the University of Maryland who next to me at the fast-paced Alexa workshop this morning. We were setting up a Raspberry Pi computer which each of us was given as part of attending reMARS. There was a lot of very detailed information that we entered on PC’s in preparation for hooking up some wires and to the Ras Pi so it became Alexa enabled. Fascinating stuff.
