The Erie Gay Business Alliance, a newly formed group, had a successful candidates night at Craze Night Club on Sunday. We were focused on presidential candidates and US Congress candidates from PA District 3. I was worried because the group only formed 2 weeks ago, and there was another candidate forum that night. (I.e. I was concerned that we might have an issue with either candidates turning out or people showing up, since we didn't have time to get it in the newsletter.)
Happily, we had all 4 Democratic Party candidates for congress show up and speak. Steve Porter had previously said that he had a conflict. Phil English didn't attend, and when the event planner called his office, he was put on hold for 20 minutes. We also had representatives from the Ron Paul, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaign. We couldn't find contact info for John McCain's local office. (Not sure if he even has one currently.)
Hopefully, we will do even better in the fall! Overall, I think that everyone pitched in to make a very successful event.
