Cloning McCurry in Nevada?

It was a thrill to have Mike McCurry in town last week. When Mike got off the plane Monday evening we marched him right across the street to our ONE Candidates Forum at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
The forum was a great success. We invited representatives from every presidential campaign to speak to ONE volunteers and UNLV students about their candidates’ plans to fight poverty and global disease. Participation was great and it was fantastic for our volunteers to hear from each campaign. We signed up 30 new members and UNLV’s ONE club was able to recruit about a dozen new members as well.
Mike was our keynote speaker and discussed his advisory role with ONE and some of the amazing success stories ONE has witnessed since it’s inception. He highlighted how refreshing it is to be involved with a campaign that that unites people from all political parties, quite a change from his former role as White House Press Secretary.
The following day we ran all over town, from a press roundtable at R&R partners with Nevada’s ONE Vote 08 co-chair Billy Vassiliadis, to filming Face to Face with Jon Ralston. Mike finished up the day by speaking with UNLV Law School students and faculty. Over 45 students signed the declaration.
If only we could clone Mike and have him campaigning for ONE in NV every day.
