LaRocco takes out the trash

KLEW-TV was on hand today as U.S. Senate candidate Larry LaRocco worked six hours on an Orofino sanitation crew to launch his Working for Senate campaign. A snip from the story:

For Idaho Democrat Larry LaRocco, getting to work, means getting a little dirty.

LaRocco was in Orofino at 6 a.m. Monday morning. Instead of driving shotgun in a campaign entourage, he hung on to a a giant white sanitation truck in what he calls his Working for Senate campaign.

"It's an attempt to work with people everyday that are raising their families and paying their taxes and are paying for education,” said LaRocco. “I want to find out all the questions and concerns they have about raising their families and I want to work with them right on the job. So, I'm going to take jobs all over the State of Idaho for a day or so. This is the launch of my ‘Working for Senate’ campaign.”

LaRocco said the goal is to learn from people he works with.

"A tendency now for a candidate is to raise money and hire consultants and do the TV ads,” he said. “They don't really interact with voters. So, they do all the talking and not the listening. I'm a candidate who wants to listen and learn."

Larry is the kind of candidate we need. He is not affraid to get dirty or actually come out and meet and greet with people. I worked wit Larry last year and never met a warmer/nicer man. We have a great candidate and need to back him any way we can.
