Obama Looks For Office Space In Amarillo


Last week, there were rumors flying around that Obama might open a campaign headquarters here in Amarillo. Now it looks like those rumors were true. Both the Amarillo Independent and the Amarillo Globe News are now reporting that the Obama campaign is actively seeking to find office space here.

The campaign has designated organizer John La Rue to head up the campaign's effort in Amarillo. La Rue was in Childress on Monday speaking to Obama supporters, and then headed to Amarillo. He said he's holding an organizational meeting on Thursday at 7:00pm. It will be held at the Carter Chapel located at 412 SW Second Avenue near downtown.

The Second Avenue location was originally considered as a place to locate the Obama headquarters, but it looks like that won't happen now. However, the campaign will open a headquarters here as soon as they find an appropriate location.

La Rue will also be speaking to Obama supporters at the Jack B. Kelley Student Center at West Texas A and M University this coming Friday at 4:00pm.
