Our next campaign event is fast approaching and we hope you join us for a fun-filled, Italian food feast!
Meet Council President Russell Talamini and Council Candidate Ryan Schwertfeger on Sunday, October 11, 2026 between 1-4pm at the Knights of Columbus building in Oakland. All you can eat Italian food will be served - pizza, pasta, and fresh mozzarella just to name a few, in honor of Columbus Day weekend! Courtesy of the Pino for Congress campaign, we will also have a face painter in attendance at no additional charge to attendees!
The event will be held rain or shine and we hope to see all members of the community come out to celebrate, eat some good food, and ask the candidates and other elected officials in attendance any questions you may have.
Price of $40 per person, with discounts available for couples ($60 total - save $20), and for families of 3 or more ($80 total - save $40 minimum!). Pay at the door with cash or make an applicable donation online for your total party's attendance between September 17 and day of the event, October 11.
Questions about the event can be directed to the campaign at russandryan2026@gmail.com.
