Freedom Park, rain or shine, will be the launching pad for an unprecedented grassroots
campaign for Congress. Volunteers from throughout Ventura County and the region will
be gathering to join in a campaign that candidate Linda Parks says is “not about her.”
Parks, a past mayor of the city of Thousand Oaks and current member of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, will officially kick off her campaign for the new 26th Congressional District this Saturday, January 21, at noon.
“My campaign is about families, neighbors, Americans, coming together to send a message
to the nation that we don’t want extreme partisanship, and we don’t want politicians who
are bought and paid for,” Parks said.
Parks will not being taking any contributions from PACs, corporations, unions,
or political parties, just from individuals.
The 2012 Congressional race in Ventura County will be a national battleground with the political parties and Political Action Committees (PACs) making it one of the most expensive campaigns in California’s history. Parks says that at the kickoff she’ll be offering a challenge.
The public is invited to the launch, which will be followed immediately with what Parks calls an “envelope stuffing party” as part of the grassroots campaign. Freedom Park, and the meeting hall where the kickoff and stuffing party will be taking place, is located on Eubanks Street next to the Camarillo Airport.
