Oxford Rally on Sept. 25 to Bring Together Colom, Johnson Campaigns and Local Democratic Groups
A coalition of Democratic campaigns and local party organizations will hold a joint rally in Oxford on Sept. 25, bringing together the Scott Colom for Senate campaign, the Cliff Johnson for Congress campaign, the Lafayette County Democrats, and the College Democrats at the University of Mississippi.
The event, billed as “Our Mississippi. Our Future.,” will take place at the Lyric Theatre on Oxford Square. Organizers have set the start time for 6 p.m., with doors opening at the same hour. Live music is scheduled to begin shortly after 6 p.m., and campaign speakers and guests will appear throughout the evening.
Hosts and Campaigns Behind the Rally
The rally is a collaborative effort among four groups with ties to the Oxford area and the University of Mississippi campus. The College Democrats at the University of Mississippi and the Lafayette County Democrats are joined by two active federal campaigns: Scott Colom for Senate and Cliff Johnson for Congress.
Each of the participating organizations has a presence in the region, and the joint format allows supporters of the various campaigns to gather in one location. The event is not limited to a single campaign or candidate; instead, it serves as a shared platform for the groups involved.
Time, Venue, and Schedule
The Lyric Theatre, located on Oxford Square in Oxford, Mississippi, will host the event. Doors open at 6 p.m. on Sept. 25, and the program begins at the same time. Organizers have planned for live music to start shortly after the doors open, providing entertainment as attendees arrive.
Following the music, campaign speakers and guests will take the stage. The schedule includes both entertainment and formal remarks, though specific speaker times were not detailed in the announcement.
Entertainment and Amenities
In addition to live music, a bar will be available at the venue. The combination of music, speakers, and a bar suggests an evening designed to be both social and political in nature. Attendees can expect a relaxed atmosphere alongside the campaign messaging.
The event name, “Our Mississippi. Our Future.,” appears to frame the rally around a forward-looking theme, though organizers have not released further details about the specific messages planned for the evening.
