Hosted by Governor Ray Mabus

This Wednesday and Thursday as part of the Obama campaign's "Change is Coming" community conversations, former Mississippi Gov. Ray Mabus will speak at events across eastern South Dakota.
Mabus, governed Mississippi from 1988 to 1992, and he championed one of the nation's most comprehensive education reform programs, giving teachers the largest pay raise in America.  

On Thursday, he will be joined by former Missouri U.S. Sen. Jean Carnahan who was the First Lady of Missouri from 1993-2000 and was the first woman to represent Missouri in the U.S. Senate, serving from 2001-2002.

The events will offer South Dakotans the opportunity to continue their dialogue with the Obama campaign about the issues impacting them most, and learn about Senator Obama's plans to provide affordable health care to every American, fix our struggling schools, and end the costly war in Iraq. 

The town hall-style events are free and open to the public.
