Campaign outreach

Schedule we're
actively building.

This website is operated by Friends of Darrell Odom Sr. Dates for community gatherings are often not final until they're confirmed with hosts and organizers. Annapolis ceremonial events (bill signings at the governor's office, for example) are not public campaign rallies — we keep those under Where He's Been so neighbors can still see Annapolis milestones alongside grassroots stops.

Charles County • Early May

Route 301 commuter coffee moment

7:30 AM at US-301 and Berry Road — the pinch point commuters know. Showing up beside the bottleneck keeps the corridor conversation grounded in lived experience.

Veterans • May • Charles County

Veterans benefits clinic pairing

Fire/EMS • Both counties

Fire station appreciation breakfasts

Environment • Early June

Potomac River stewardship Saturday

A hands-on shoreline morning that ignores county lines entirely — because trash in the watershed does too.

“27A United” listening tour

Back-to-back moderated nights — one rooted in northern Charles County, one on the Prince George's side — with food covered and interpreters on-call if we know ahead of time.

Ground game • Weekends before primary

“Knock & Eat” canvass picnics

Three-hour turf shifts followed by catered lunch sourced from restaurants along Route 301. Bring-a-neighbor giveaways keep the morale high ahead of GOTV crunch time.

Where he's been

Legislative bill signings happen inside the governor's reception suite — not something neighbors can RSVP to like a hometown town hall. We still log them because they matter to the portfolio Delegate Odom is running on.
