Utah for Obama Co-Hosts Grand Opening of Barack
Obama Campaign Office in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City, Utah – Utah for Obama, the grassroots group that has been supporting Barack Obama’s campaign for presidency since February of 2007, will be co-hosting the Grand Opening of Barack Obama’s Salt Lake City campaign office.
Salt Lake City was the home of one of four campaign offices during the 2008 primary election. During the primary, the campaign office was staffed with over 20 field organizers, and hundreds of grassroots supporters of Barack Obama volunteered there. This greatly contributed to Senator Obama winning over 56% of the Democratic primary vote in February, 2008.
Suzanne Gelderman is the Utah State Director for the Obama campaign, and will be working with field organizers and grassroots volunteers until the November primary, making phone calls and knocking on doors. As was the case with the primary office opening in November of 2007, Barack Obama is again the first candidate to open an office in Utah.
Volunteer sign up will be available during the grand opening.

When: August 23, 2008 at 2:00PM – 5:00 PM
