ONE Marshaling Thompson in Marshalltown
Members of ONE were in Marshalltown Iowa to meet and greet Fred Thompson and his wife Jeri. We got our seats right behind Fred as he delivered his remarks. The Fox News channel was there to catch the action as ONE members were right in view during the closing segment of the Fox Report with Shepard Smith.
Afterwards, the former Tennessee senator graciously posed for photos and took a band saying it was good to see us again. A high-level staff member from Fred’s campaign peered from the convoy right before departure to recognize the ONE Campaign and request a band.
As I went over to the vehicle to deliver the band, another member of the Thompson team leaned forward to let me know he wears his band everywhere. It was great to see their enthusiasm for ONE right before they sped off to the next stop.
