Support Vanessa Brown for Representative in the 190th district
Submitted by kbojar on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 9:47pm.
Vanessa Brown may soon join Tony Payton as the second currently enrolled CCP student to serve in the PA House of Representatives.
Vanessa was a student in my Community Involvement class; it soon became apparent that she could be teaching the class. She is certainly one of the most talented students I have been privileged to teach.
Vanessa has a very impressive record as a community activist. You can learn more about Vanessa at Vanessabrown2008.com
Philadephia Now has endorsed her candidacy for State Representative in the 190th district and we are holding a fundraiser for her this week-end. I hope some of you will be able to join us:

truffles prepared by Louise Francis

Vanessa Brown's the real deal
Vanessa Brown is from what I can tell a candidate of exceptional motivation and integrity, somebody whose entire approach comes from community organizing at a neighborhood level. I have not known her for as long as Karen Bojar but I did get a chance to talk with Vanessa and I was impressed by both her community spirit and her determination.
There's also a pretty good video floating around:
Gotta love the Etta James in the background. I know I do.
P.S. a little bird told me
P.S. a little bird told me there may be a possibility that there may another parallel to Tony Payton Jr.'s first campaign that may make Vanessa's race much, much more competitive. I hope that little bird is correct.
I've heard the same chirps.
