Meeting with Hillary Clinton's Campaign

Meeting at Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Headquarters

On Monday, August 6 we met Katie List, NH Director of Scheduling and Colin Pio from the Clinton Campaign. The GSOP delegates attending were: Ruth Heden, Fred Platt, Laticia Ortiz, Sarah Jane Knoy and Nancy Schooley.

Laticia thanked Katie and Colin for the meeting and then we introduced ourselves and told the Institutes that we represent.. Fred gave the history of Granite State Organizing Project and explained that we are the largest community organization in NH, a Grassroot organization. Fred told of some of the organizations that are members of GSOP and left the booklet with the list of members.

Ruth explained that the September 15 meeting is not a debate. The Candidates wil be asked several questions. There will be reality testimonies with approximately 1,200 people in attendance with 100 media expected.

Sarah Jane explained the purpose of our visit is to invite and encourage Sen. Clinton to attend. The list of questions that will be asked was given to Katie. There will be two or three questions asked each Candidate and they will each have a time frame alone on stage.

Katie and Colin were both genuinely interested in the September 15 event although schedules are not made this early. Katie will keep in touch with Sarah Jane.
