The Fourth Congressional District nominating convention will take place at Cesar Batalla School, 606 Howard Ave. in Bridgeport on Monday, May 12th at 7pm. This is going to be the big kickoff for the campaign as the summer starts to heat up. In addition to the official delegates representing each town, we want all of our supporters to be there too. And if you're not able to make it, we still want you to participate as well.

Here's what you can do:

1. Come to the convention!

RSVP here and let us know if you can make it on May 12th at 7pm - then RSVP on Facebook and spread the word. (Directions to the convention are available at the bottom of this page.)

2. Come to the after-party!

We're holding an after-party at Matty's Corner (at 2816 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport, CT) immediately following the convention, and we want you to be there too! RSVP here for the after-party.

3. Be a "virtual delegate" for Jim!

Even if you're not able to make it in person to the convention in Bridgeport on May 12th, we want you to be involved in what will be a very special night. Contribute now and become a "virtual delegate" here. Help us fight back against Chris Shays' growing war chest before another crucial fundraising deadline on May 12th.

Then tell us what you would say in a nominating speech - why you are supporting our campaign - and we'll feature the best "virtual nominations" both online at himesforcongress.com, and at the convention itself. (Click here to become a virtual delegate without contributing.)

4. Invite your friends and family:

Invite your friends and family to the 4th CD convention, or to become a virtual delegate, here.
