You can make a difference
Volunteers Neeeded!
Canvassing is one of the most effective election activities you can do. Research shows that canvassing can increase turnout by 6 to 7 percent. We'll be knocking on the doors of voters who lean Democratic to encourage them to vote and to provide them with information about candidates. As a canvasser, you'll be paired with another volunteer, and you'll receive trainiing and support. You'll have some campaign literature to leave with voters or at the doors for those folks who are not home.
Starting next month, you can click here to sign up. Please click on the following canvassing link to learn more about where and when we'll be canvassing between October 1 and the November 3 election date. You'll be able to sign up for the dates that work for you.
The down-ballot races in our area of Washington are super tight. Your participation as a canvasser might make the difference between winning and losing.
What we're learning from canvassing in Klickitat County
In addition to the special canvass described above, we've wrapped up a "Get Out The Vote" canvass campaign throughout the county. We canvassed in Goldendale, Lyle, Dallesport, and White Salmon last week, and we noticed a theme from talking with voters. Many didn’t plan on voting because it was “just a primary”. The thing is, if our candidates don’t make it though the primary election, then we don’t have a good choice in the general election in November. We have to choose between “the lesser of two evils”.
That means we're talking to the right people. We've been able to let them know about these down-ballot races, and we've left them with campaign literature for Ben Christly, Diana Perez, Ezequiel Morfin, Chelsea Dimas, and CD4 Candidate John Duresky.
