TAMWORTH — Democratic presidential hopeful Marianne Williamson drew about 60 people to the Art In The Age cafe (formerly the Tamworth Lyceum) last Thursday in Tamworth.
Williamson, 67, a best-selling self-help author and political activist, is running in a crowded Democratic field that includes front-runners Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and former Vice President Joe Biden. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg of New York also recently entered the race.
