Kerry Formally to Announce Candidacy

WASHINGTON - He's been campaigning for president for months, but Democratic Sen. John Kerry will finally make it official in a two-day campaign swing after Labor Day.
The Massachusetts senator will begin his announcement on Sept. 2 with appearances in Charleston, S.C., and Des Moines, Iowa, where he plans to focus on his record as a decorated Navy veteran who served in the Vietnam War. Both stops will feature crew members who served on the small gunboat Kerry commanded during the war.
On Sept. 3, Kerry will shift his focus to jobs and the economy, first in a swing through New Hampshire and culminating in a rally at Boston's Faneuil Hall.
FELLOW VETERANS TO JOIN KERRY'S KICKOFF

Senator John F. Kerry will reunite with members of his Navy boat crew when he makes a public declaration of his presidential candidacy Sept. 2-3 with speeches in South Carolina, Iowa, and New Hampshire, followed by a rally outside Faneuil Hall...
Kerry has argued that his military and law enforcement background will allow him to contend in the South, a heavily Republican region.
"The speeches in Charleston and Iowa will focus on his personal story and vision for the country under a Kerry administration," said Kerry spokeswoman Kelley Benander. "New Hampshire will highlight his economic plan, and the Boston rally will be a send-off party for the hometown crowd."
During the Sept. 2 stop in Charleston, Kerry is expected to be joined by David Alston of Columbia, a member of his boat crew during the Vietnam War. Later that day in Iowa, another crew member, Gene Thorsen of Ames, is expected to be beside Kerry, and aides hinted there might be additional crew members at each location.
The senator frequently speaks about the workings of the crew, a racially diverse group from around the country, as a metaphor for how he hopes to renew the commitment of Americans to one another.
On Sept. 3, Kerry will travel to New Hampshire and Massachusetts. An array of elected officials, family members, and friends have been invited to the Faneuil Hall rally, which will also be open to the public.
Kerry has officially been a candidate for president since December, when he filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to raise and spend campaign funds.
