[CRNMC] Jim Hightower fundraiser

[Beth Riedel]

I agree Karina. We have had some very high turnouts at inland events for 
the right people and I think Hightower would be one of those. But 
whatever is decided is fine by me - just would be great to get something 
big around Ukiah where the numbers of voters are really high. We really 
haven't had such an event here.

Be well.
