The Lee Byberg campaign is bringing a “Freedom Chorus” to Alexandria featuring Lee Greenwood.

The choir is wrapping up its tour with a grand finale event in Alexandria on October 21, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Lake Geneva Christian Center. Admission is free.

Byberg, who is making his second bid for U.S. Congress, said his campaign isn’t sticking to the script of TV ads, phone calls, and direct mail.

“Yes, we’ll be advertising on TV. Yes, you’ll hear us on the radio,” said Byberg. “But to really connect with voters we are going big. We are leading a movement, and the Freedom Chorus is a celebration of what unites us as Americans.”

The 500-plus member choir will perform a mixture of patriotic songs and classic hymns. At each event, Byberg will deliver a short, nonpartisan message about what it means to be an American.

“Music touches our souls, and none of us sings about being a Republican or a Democrat. We sing our values and our deeply held convictions. I’m not interested in winning through division, but by uniting Minnesotans,” said Byberg.

The chorus is made up of volunteers from around the 7th District.

“What brings us together is our common love of Minnesota and America, and our hope for the future. I think we all need a reminder of our common love of America and of freedom,” Byberg concluded.
