How Sweet it Was When...

Congressional candidate John Hall came a step closer to winning the Democratic nomination in the race to unseat Republican Sue Kelly with a solid victory at last night's Dutchess County Democratic Convention. Hall got 3601 votes - 81% of the total.

Hall said the enthusiastic response to his message means that the people are motivated to win this election. "People are waking up, rolling up their sleeves and coming out to do what needs to be done to get this country back on track." He said. "Big things are going to happen for us this year."

The win in Dutchess is the latest in a series of momentum building events for Hall's campaign. After another landslide win in Orange County, Hall recently raised a significant amount of money at musical events with Jackson Browne, Pete Seeger and Dar Williams.

Hall was also joined recently by top national fundraising strategist Bob Doyle. Doyle - the founder and president of Sutter's Mill Fundraising & Strategy - is a veteran fundraiser and has worked in many high profile Democratic campaigns.
