The Truman Rally was rebooted last year, after being on hiatus for several years from the Parkway political scene. From 1981 until 2006 the Truman Rally was a well-loved neighborhood tradition.  he event was considered, and now looks to be once again - a vital stop on the campaign trail for candidates due to the hundreds of supporters, spectators, and would-be voters. Any candidate on the ballot, no matter what political party or no party, is invited to give - essentially a stump speech. 

Congressman Stephen Lynch, D-9th, is also scheduled to speak, who is opposed by Republican candidate Joe Selvaggi, who has not confirmed his attendance.
