CA-02 Democratic candidate Jeff Morris appeared at the Obama Fest event in Fort Jones CA on Saturday, October 11. The Obama Fest was a completely grass roots effort organized by Scott Valley volunteers and drew over 200 attendees in a traditionally red precinct of Siskiyou County.
The local Pioneer Press headlined: "Obama Fest a Smash Success" and stated it was the first Democratic event held in Scott Valley in some decades.
Jeff Morris addressed the crowd with a well received speech and with a meet and greet afterward. The Pioneer Press published a glowing article on Morris after interviewing him following the event. It should be noted that positive articles about Democrats are virtually unknown by Siskiyou County newspapers.
Kerry lost Siskiyou County 12,673 - 7880 in 2004. Will Siskiyou County vote blue this year? We are beginning to see some signs that it might. Our voter registration drive continues to cut into the historically +R registration margin. We are very interested to see the final registration tallies from the County Clerk after registration closes on October 20.
