 Wilber Campaign Sets Goals:  Accessibility, Voter Education, Marriage Rights

James Wilber, co-chair of the Green Party of Kalamazoo, will formally announce his campaign for the position of Kalamazoo County Clerk at a rally in front of the Kalamazoo County Administration Building (201 West Kalamazoo Avenue in downtown Kalamazoo).  

Wilber will be joined at the rally by fellow Greens and other supporters, including long-time Kalamazoo City Commissioner Don Cooney. In kicking off the campaign, Wilber will outline his vision for the County Clerk's office -- including his plans to improve accessibility for all to the services the Clerk provides and educate voters about their rights, and his support for granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

WHO:    James Wilber, the Green Party candidate for Kalamazoo County
        Clerk -- accompanied by Kalamazoo City Commissioner Don Cooney
        and other supporters.
 
WHAT:   Cooney will introduce Wilber, who will formally announce and
        kick off his campaign for the position of Kalamazoo County
        Clerk.  (He was nominated to be the Green Party's candidate
        for the position at a county caucus July 1 at the Fourth Coast
        Café, 816 S. Westnedge.)
 
WHEN:   Tuesday, August 3 -- starting at 6:30pm.
 
WHERE:  In front of the Kalamazoo County Administration Building,
        201 W. Kalamazoo Ave.
 
WHY:    The rally is to kick off the campaign, and introduce the
        people of Kalamazoo County to its first Green candidate for
        County Clerk and his vision for how the office can help
        the people take back their government.
 
"That is why I have chosen to run for County Clerk this year -- so that we can not only speak out against what is wrong, but also stand up for our most cherished beliefs, and introduce fresh and new ideas to our county government." 
             -- James Wilber, candidate for County Clerk
