Jerry Grant, who is running in the Democratic Primary to replace Rep. Terry Schooley in the 23rd RD, has his official kickoff event this Thursday.  He will be introduced by none other than…Terry Schooley.

Here is the official announcement:

Grant to Kickoff Campaign for 23rd District

Former city councilmember, small business owner launching bid for House seat

NEWARK — Jerry Grant will formally kickoff his campaign for the open House 23rd District seat on Thursday, July 19. Grant is a former six-year Newark City Councilmember and former owner of I Like It Like That Records on Main Street.  He is currently Deputy Chief Of Staff for the House Majority Caucus.
The campaign kickoff, which will include an introduction by outgoing Rep. Terry Schooley, will take place at Catherine Rooney’s on the second floor. The event begins at 7pm. While the event is a fundraiser, press are welcome to attend to cover the kickoff.
WHO: Jerry Grant, 23rd District Democratic candidate, Rep. Terry Schooley, other elected officials
WHAT: Grant Campaign Kickoff
WHEN: July 19 at 7pm
WHERE: Catherine Rooney’s, Main Street, Newark.
I have the utmost respect for Jerry, I’ve known him for quite some time, and, in the interest of full disclosure, I support him and will be donating to the campaign.
Having said that, too bad for the rest of us that we don’t have the choices available to the D’s in the 23rd District. I envy them and, yes, I’m more than a little jealous.

    Thanks, Josh. That reminds me. Anyone who wants to post a clip of a candidate annnouncing or giving a speech, or something, please provide a link and we’ll be happy to put it up.

    I think it’s a great way to help our readers not only make voting decisions, but to decide which campaigns they might want to contribute to.

    He’s been a great witness for good and advocate at the community level for years. He will be marvelous in public office.

    Come to think of it, he already has been – as Newark City Councilman.
