On Principles & Values: Kitchen Table Tour: informal Q&A at voters' homes

Clark aired three television ads in recent weeks. In each, she derided Republicans and underlined her support for equal pay for women in the workplace and female reproductive rights--hewing to well-worn Democratic talking points. But beyond the standard mechanisms of a Congressional campaign, Clark, who is warm and engaging in person, also ran something of a under-the-radar kaffeeklatsch effort. The Congressional hopeful attended several dozen informal sessions at voters' homes in the district, in what she called a "Kitchen Table Tour." Sometimes the sip-and-schmooze sessions were attended by only a few people, sometimes by a roomful. But in each, Clark had an opportunity to speak at length and answer voters' questions. Campaign aides believe this effort has a multiplying effect. Voters who met Clark and liked her, shared their enthusiasm with friends and neighbors.
