Patrick Kennedy for City Council: An Evening with Doris Matsui

Patrick Kennedy, Sacramento City Council 2010

As we approach the final weeks of the campaign, I am happy to report that things are going great! I am out knocking on doors every day and enjoying the chance to connect with voters.

We have also seen a great outpouring of support from volunteers. It did my heart good to walk into the campaign headquarters the other day and see young volunteers calling voters speaking Hmong, Russian, Spanish and English – truly showing the diversity of the District and this campaign.

However, we still need your help. We call and walk every day and on Saturdays, we host a community bbq after the walk for neighbors and volunteers. Please join neighbors and supporters at our campaign headquarters tomorrow and help me knock on doors to get out the vote!

• 5385 Franklin Blvd, Suite #P (Near Franklin and Fruitridge between Jimboy’s Tacos and The Rooney Police Substation)
  
• 9 AM to 12 Noon (Followed by a Neighborhood bbq in Colonial Park)

If you can walk or phone during the week, or you need a lawn sign, please call Kenny Alvarado at 509-0986 or email him atKenny@patrick-kennedy.com.

An Evening with Doris Matsui

Last night we held a special event with Congresswoman Doris Matsui. It was a great opportunity to see our home grown hero in Congress. It was also humbling to have the Congresswoman talk about her support of my campaign.

“Patrick has a history of bringing people together and solving problems. We need him on the City Council,” Said Congresswoman Matsui.

It was also nice to reminisce about my days serving as an intern in the office of the late Congressman Robert Matsui when I was in college. The Matsuis have long been an important part in the lives of all Sacramentans, and I am honored to have their continued friendship.

On The Porch with Patrick

Last night was also a good opportunity to meet with Curtis Park neighbors on the porch of Genevieve Shiroma and Michael Abbott. It was a great way to enjoy a perfect Fall evening and listen and talk about the issues facing our City and our neighborhoods.

If you are interested in hosting a neighborhood coffee, please call Judy at 743-0877 or email her atJudy@judykennedyart.com.

Lawrence Park BBQ

Last Saturday our neighborhood bbq was held in Lawrence Park. It was great to share stories about this great, hidden gem of a neighborhood with so many long time residents. On the Council, I look forward to hosting a lot more events at parks throughout the District to introduce neighbors to neighbors and neighborhoods to neighborhoods. Working together we can be a powerful force for the 5th District.

Public Safety for Patrick

We recently had a neighborhood walk hosted at the old fire station on Stockton and Broadway. I was honored to have 25 firefighters and 15 community members and volunteers from Laborers Local 185 come out to walk the surrounding neighborhoods with me. After, we shared hot dogs and hamburgers (including the now famous Sacramento Area Firefighters Suicide Burger – a hot dog and a burger together on one bun). It was great to spend time with so many men and women who put their lives on the line for us every day and have the opportunity to say “Thank You”.

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions for me, please do not hesitate to call me at 446-4436 or email me atPatrick@patrick-kennedy.com. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Patrick Kennedy
