Coffee with YOUR Candidate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“COFFEE WITH YOUR CANDIDATE” WITH CANDIDATE FOR FALMOUTH SELECTMAN BRENT PUTNAM

(Falmouth, MA, May 4, 2008) – Candidate for Falmouth Selectman Brent Putnam will be holding a “Coffee with YOUR Candidate” meet and greet Friday, May 9 from 7am to 9am at Betsy's Diner, 457 Main Street, downtown Falmouth.

“We've done evening gatherings and weekend gatherings just like everyone else,” stated Carol Murphy, Mr. Putnam's campaign manager, “but to our knowledge, no one has done anything in the morning. This could be a first in a local campaign, but it's not unusual for Brent to lead the way.”

Ms. Murphy referred to things like Putnam's blog, www.FalmouthLocal.com, where he posts his town meeting votes – something no other town meeting representative does. She also mentioned his door-to-door campaigning, which has received a warm reception from the voters.

“There are people who have lived in Falmouth for decades – if not their entire lives – and Brent is the first person to knock on their door and ask for their opinion,” noted Murphy. “No one has brought local government to the people like Brent has.”

When asked about how he feels his campaign is going, Putnam was upbeat, “The support for my campaign is amazing; there's been a very positive response to my message of open, accountable government.”
