Congressional candidate Heather Mizeur first met rock singer Melissa Etheridge back in 2008, when the singer phoned Mizeur, a superdelegate at that year’s Democratic National Convention, on behalf of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.
The pair spoke for two hours, bonding over their Midwestern upbringings and history of carrying pocket Constitutions — Etheridge recalled Mizeur being personable, real and upfront. They later met at one of Etheridge’s concerts at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., and again at the Democratic National Convention.
They got along so well that when Etheridge couldn’t find a place to stay to perform at the 2009 Green Inaugural Ball, she ended up at Mizeur’s house.
And now, 14 years of friendship later, Etheridge sold out a concert at STAR Centre in Havre de Grace on Saturday night to benefit Mizeur’s campaign for Maryland’s District 1 seat in the House of Representatives.
