Meet the Candidates

From the July 23 Newport Daily News come the following two items:

Firstly, the local chapter of the NAACP will be sponsoring a candidate forum at 7 PM this evening at Thompson Middle School. The group has invited candidates for US Senate, US House o' Representatives, and the General Assembly (including, of course, Peter and Steve here in District 75). Candidates will be fielding questions from attendees. For info call 847-5570.

Secondly, a shadowy group called the Newport Democratic City Committee held a meeting sometime in the recent past, in which they (surprise, surprise) endorsed all the Democratic candidates (including, of course, Peter here in District 75). They also announced an upcoming Meet the Candidates Rally scheduled for September 20 at the Elks Lodge at the corner of Pelham Street and Bellevue Avenue. For info call 864-3535.
