Friend,
The Philadelphia Inquirer profiled me (here) and covered my grassroots campaign in Iowa - which is now also expanding to New Hampshire. "'Every time I turned around he was at the same event,' said Bret Niles, Linn County Democratic chair. 'He shows up everywhere...' The grassroots approach has gotten some traction — the Iowa Starting line called the campaign 'peculiar and surprisingly effective.' The National Review said Sestak is 'the most Interesting Democrat You Forgot Was Running.' Both publications laud Sestak’s campaigns-of-old feel, not to mention the hustle — three or four events a day. Being on the move is kind of Sestak’s calling card. This is the same man who walked across Pennsylvania during his 2016 Senate run. He’s just swapped the flight jacket and sneakers for dress shirts and loafers."
The piece quotes Sean Bagniewski, chair of the Polk County Democratic Party (the biggest county party in Iowa), as saying: "He’s got a guerrilla campaign... It’s kind of the traditional, good old-fashioned way to win the caucuses."
The piece goes on to describe my on-the-ground strategy: "His goal is to hit as many counties as he can — including often overlooked rural areas — as many times as possible. He estimates he’s been in 50. “Amateurs do tactics, experts do logistics," Sestak often says."
The Inquirer's Julia Terruso talks about some of the appeal of my candidacy, saying of me that "he’s also quick to argue he has some of the best foreign affairs know-how in the field. And he’s a moderate who has not been afraid to buck his party, something that could appeal to disenchanted Republicans."
If you believe in our grassroots campaign and think my experience and message of accountability to people is what we need in a nominee and in a President, please contribute to my campaign.
Respectfully,
Joe Sestak
