Three Speaking Events for Heidelberger This Week!

Cory Allen Heidelberger, Democrat for District 3 Senate
Cory Allen Heidelberger, Democrat for District 3 Senate

Voters interested in where I stand on major issues can catch me at three public lunchtime appearances this week:

  • Tuesday, October 16: SDPB hosts me in a debate with Senator Jim Bolin on Amendment X. He’s the main sponsor; I’m passionately against! Tune in to In the Moment with Lori Walsh during the noon hour (11 MDT), over the air or online!
  • Wednesday, October 17: NSU’s Noon Forum hosts me and other Democratic candidates to talk about our commitment to education. (Republicans get to share their empty education rhetoric next week.) The program begins at noon in the Beulah Williams LIbrary. (Host and Professor Art Marmorstein usually brings bagels!)
  • Thursday, October 18: The Aberdeen Area Association of Realtors hosts me and other Legislative candidates at the Ramkota at noon. The candidates all get to make some introductory remarks (which, if all sixteen candidates from Districts 1, 2, and 3 show up, could be complicated), followed by a question-and-answer period. I’m not sure the event is fully public, but I can’t imagine they’d turn away curious voters.

    I recognize you feel you are beyond any coaching, Mr. H, but please go to sleep at night and reflect on how you could do better. Talk at a normal rate of speech; don’t waive your arms around like an orchestra conductor at the finale, and for Gosch’s sake, don’t call other people names like you were from out-of-state.

    Just a heads up Cory if you didn’t get this memo.

    Democrats running for re-election in the 2018 midterms are being advised to not speak about the issue of immigration as consultants admit the zero-enforcement, open borders positions of the Democrat Party are unpopular with swing voters.

    In a memo obtained by the New York Times, left-wing consultants with the Center for American Progress and the think tank, Third Way, advised Democrats running for election to spend “as little time as possible” talking about the immigration issue facing the nation, where more than 1.5 million immigrants are admitted to the country every year.

    The New York Times reported:

    “Sanctuary attacks pack a punch,” says a four-page memorandum, prepared by the liberal Center for American Progress and the centrist think tank Third Way, that has been shared at about a dozen briefings for Democrats in recent weeks. The New York Times obtained a copy of the memo, whose findings are based on interviews and surveys conducted over the summer. [Emphasis added]

    Democrats, the strategists who prepared the memo advised, could neutralize the attacks if they responded head-on. But they should spend “as little time as possible” talking about immigration itself, and instead pivot to more fruitful issues for Democrats like health care and taxation. [Emphasis added]

    “It is very difficult to win on immigration with vulnerable voters in the states Trump carried in 2016,” the strategy memo said, arguing that “even the most draconian of Republican policies,” such as family separation and threats to deport the Dreamers — undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children — failed to sway most of them. [Emphasis added]

    Widdle Russian, you really are clueless on what it takes to make South Dakota work and that is immigrants. Go to Huron or to Mitchell and you can see first hand how it all works without immigrants, our state would fall even further down the cracks. Bad enough that NOem and the other two dingalings have screwed up the economy here, the bright spot’s depend on immigrant labor.

    Good luck Cory. You always make good use of these events. I hope that voters in your district realize that when you talk transparency and public accountability, this is it. This is part of a legislator’s job, being available to the public, listening, asking questions, seeking their input, etc.

    Knock em out!

    Grudz, I think you’re still stuck in the past. I watched my September 15 videos for exactly the bad habits of which you speak. I’m animated, but I think my rate has declined significantly.

    Jason, you’re part of the problem. Your out-of-state issues hurt our local politics at least as much as the out-of-state money that Mickelson thinks he’ll keep out of ballot measures with IM 24. Let’s talk about real local issues instead of red herrings, shall we?

    Thanks, Debbo! I’ll make the most of these opportunities to inform the public about real South Dakota issues, just as I will with subsequent speaking events before Election Day!
