Johnson County residents will have a chance Thursday afternoon to find out more about Barack Obama, the U.S. Senator from Illinois vying for the Democratic presidential nomination with Hillary Clinton.
Jim Nam, a representative of the Obama campaign, will be at the DeerField Boutique & Espresso Café at 7 North Main in Buffalo at 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21.
“It’s more of a get to know the folks who are interested in the campaign and talk about the issues,” Nam explained on Wednesday.
Matt Chandler, the press secretary for the Obama campaign’s offices in Wyoming, said that this meet and greet will be followed by a debate-watching party at 6 p.m. Obama and Clinton scheduled to debate that night in Texas.
Chandler said the campaign has opened four offices in Wyoming, in Casper, Rock Springs, Laramie and Cheyenne.
“We have 12 paid staff and we’re busy getting volunteers,” he said.
So far, about 2,000 people from Wyoming have signed up on-line to help with the campaign. “It’s been a good response,” Chandler said.
The race for the Democratic nomination has become very close, with the latest counts showing Obama with 1,139 delegates and Clinton with 1,003. Clinton also hopes to gain more delegates from Michigan and Florida by reversing a decision that penalized them for holding early caucuses.
“Every state counts at this point,” Chandler said. “Wyoming has 18 delegates, and that’s going to make a difference in deciding who the Democratic nominee will be.”
Chandler also pointed out that Obama has successfully reached out to people in many different regions of the country. He has won delegates in Maine, Delaware, Georgia, and Washington, as well as several of Wyoming’s neighbors — Utah, Colorado and South Dakota.
CAUCUS
Also, Johnson County residents are reminded that they have until 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, to register with the county clerk as a Democrat if they want to participate in the March 8 Democratic caucus.
The caucus, planned for 2 p.m. in the community room at the Bank of Buffalo, will determine which four local Democrats will get to attend the state convention May 23 and 24.
This is not just a contest for adults — teens who are 17 years old and will turn 18 by the Nov. 4 general election may register to take part in the caucus, too.
More information about the caucus is available by calling (800) 729-3367.
