Kids for Strama
Rep. Strama to run summer campaign camp again
By Richard Whittaker, 2:35PM, Wed. May 7, 2008
Democrat? In high school or college? Think Rep. Mark Strama, D-Austin, is kinda dreamy? Then why not join his Campaign Academy! It's like summer camp, but with more phone banking.
Strama calls it "a unique summer opportunity […] to work inside a high-profile campaign." Apart from helping him fight off Republican challenger Jerry Mikus, there'll be a bunch of guest speakers. In previous years, Strama has wrangled in several local state reps and council members, some former heavy hitters like Ben Barnes, and some serious policy wonks. The camp runs June 23 to July 25, 10am to 6pm at wherever they finally site the Travis County Democratic Coordinated Campaign HQ. This being a campaign, lunch will be provided, and there will be the fun and games of the launch party: Stramarama.
