Presidential Election 2016-Trotwood

Hillary Clinton's Campaign Office is located at 838 East Main Street adjacent to Trotwood Foodtown.
The vacant building space, turned into an office by the organizing staff, held its opening on September 6, 2016, the day after Labor Day. There was a good turn out of the Democratic Party's faithful. Former Dayton Mayor, Rhine McLin, gave a rousing speech of support for Hillary.
Gospel Singer, Shirley Murdock, shared her musical gifts.

Prior to the office opening, volunteers convened in local homes. I began volunteering August 8th phone banking at two Trotwood residences.

The campaign is near its end. Four days are left before the election. I am waiting to be a witness to history, to see Hillary Clinton become the first woman president of the United States. I was a witness to history when President Barack Obama became the first African-American elected and reelected President. I volunteered at the Trotwood Office to elect President Obama.

Volunteering in a major political campaign one becomes connected with others who support the same political candidate. An unanticipated benefit of such endeavors is the opportunity to meet and take pictures with noted politicians and distinguished persons I would not normally come in contact.
During this election, I have had the good fortune to meet and take pictures with Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City, Georgia Congressman  and Civil Rights Icon, John Lewis, and Anne Holton, the wife of Senator Tim Kaine. I have been inspired by all three. Congressman Lewis reminded us of how sacred the right to vote in a democracy and how he almost died to achieve this right.  You get the opportunity to meet with such wonderful young organizers as Peter Li, Chris Dingus, and Jesse Vogel whom I expect one day will be national leaders.

Sometimes, you get interviewed by the media as I did on Thursday, November 3, 2016,
and your comments and opinions appear in the Dayton Daily News: Wife of Dem VP Nominee visits Trotwood : "Gladys Turner-Finney, 89 (error) said she is a part of the campaign because of what it would mean for women to have the next president be a female, and Holton helps project that message. "Her speech reminds-not only me but everyone here and in my area-the importance of having someone in the White House who supports women's issues; the things that women care about,"
