Oh, What A Night: Congressman Re-elected With 66% of Vote

Tuesday, November 7th was indeed a very, very good night to be a Democrat. On an early morning when Democrats took over the U.S. House, Senate and a majority of the Governorships, Congressman Russ Carnahan also sailed to victory. When the final tally was counted, Missouri voters had elected Claire McCaskill to the U.S. Senate and Congressman Carnahan was returning to the House of Representatives with 66% of the votes from Missouri's 3rd Congressional District.

Though final votes did not come in from Jefferson County until Thursday, it was clear very early on Election Night that Congressman Carnahan would be joining the new Democratic Majority in Congress. Shortly after 10:00 p.m., Congressman Carnahan went to the main ballroom of the Renaissance Grand Hotel to claim victory in front of a crowd of Democratic activists, staff and supporters.

It has been a historic election cycle for the Democrats (and a lot of fun too...). On behalf of Congressman Carnahan, his family, and all of the Team Carnahan staff, thank you all for your support and efforts in this election.

Sierra Club Political Committee Endorses Congressman Carnahan

The Sierra Club Political Committee (PAC) has endorsed Congressman Russ Carnahan for re-election. The Congressman is proud to be recognized for his continuing commitment to the development of innovative energy sources and environmentally sound legislative policies.

The Sierra Club endorsement includes the following statement:

"Sierra Club promotes "Smart Energy Solutions" which shift us from reliance on fossil fuels and nuclear power to a safe, clean energy future built on efficiency, renewable fuels, and innovative technologies; the protection of "America's Wild Legacy" including our wildlife and their habitat and preservation of our wild and special places; and "Safe and Healthy Communities" free from pollution of our water and air and toxic threats to communities across America".

Volunteers for Victory: Ready for GOTV

Team Carnahan and Carnahan volunteers worked together over the weekend in the last large canvass before GOTV and Election Day. Field Director Greg Shufeldt organized the effort that successfully contacted more than 1,000 voters on Saturday.

After the hard work was done, volunteers and Team Carnahan went to Bandana's BBQ and enjoyed a lunch with Congressman Carnahan.

Team Carnahan is gearing up and team members are excited about talking to voters in the coming week. Only one week until Election Day! Start talking to your friends and relative and reminding them to vote in this historic election. Missourians have a very tangible opportunity to change this course and future of this country, but it won't happen if Democrats don't vote.

Humphreys: Good Time Had By All...

The St. Louis City/County Unity Event was a lot of fun last night. Over drinks and food, City and County elected offiicals mingled with Team Carnahan staffers in a celebratory mood.

With Team Carnahan growing every day, the Carnahan in Congress office is a very dynamic place with a great team of young people reaching out to voters in the 3rd Congressional District.

Team Carnahan Going Spiezio?

So... rumor around the Carnahan campaign has it that the field team is going to be sporting the Spiezio goatee next week. Of course, being an equal opportunity campaign- this effort will include both male and female members of the campaign staff.

Also, the Congressman was apparently ahead of all of us when he chose to sport Taguchi's number at the 2006 Congressional baseball game... I, for one, certainly didn't expect Taguchi to be a homerun hero... but that's why he's the Congressman ; )

Here's to the World Series, Redbirds and the great Cardinals fans out there in Cardinal Nation... GO CARDS!!!
