LD9 PC and Volunteer Development
Welcome to the Spring Theme of our 2018 Election Cycle! LD9’s goal during the next couple of months will be to focus on the many talented and energetic Democratic candidates who have emerged (and continue to emerge!) for local and state runs in the upcoming primary and midterm elections.
The fact that so many committed and qualified men and women have announced their candidacies is a sign that things are really heating up, not just in our Arizona Legislative District 9 (LD9) but also in our U.S. Congressional District (CD2), the governor’s race, US Senate race, and others. The “blue wave” is coming to Arizona and our Democratic candidates are going to NEED YOUR HELP!
For our Spring Theme, we are asking each Precinct Committee Person, Volunteer, and anyone else in LD9 who’s in interested to GET INVOLVED by picking at least one candidate to support and lending some time to that candidate’s campaign. Here are some easy ways you can work to support the candidate(s) of your choice:
1. Make phone calls or send text messages on behalf of the candidate. He/she will provide you with a call list.
2. Donate office supplies, snacks and water to the candidate’s campaign office.
3. Make a $5 contribution to qualify the candidate for the ballot and ask others to do the same.
4. Offer to host a house party.
5. Contact your candidate for a list of like-minded voters in your neighborhood, then walk around the block and talk to your neighbors.
6. Deliver yard signs. Or put signs up in your own yard, especially if you live in a prominent, high-traffic area. Note that homeowners’ associations, by law, cannot ban these signs if displayed no earlier than 71 days before an election (ARS 33-1808-C).
7. Wear a campaign T-shirt to an event, or even just to the grocery store, and have friendly, brief conversations with people, giving them a strong positive association with your candidate.
8. Help with data entry.
9. If you have the money, donate to the Candidate’s campaign
If you’re wondering who the candidates are, which one (s) you’d like to work for, and how to specifically get involved in their campaign—here’s how:
Check out the candidates on our LD9 web site or download the handy candidate directory with web sites for each person running. On each web page, you’ll see a button to click or form to fill out, letting the Candidate know you’d like to get involved in their campaign.
Be sure to spend time studying each Candidate’s web site to determine which one “speaks to you” in terms of message, approach, values, qualifications, policies, and campaign organization. Before signing on to a campaign, don’t be shy about contacting a few campaigns to see which one best fits your style and needs. Don’t be afraid to contact the Candidate and his/her campaign manager before signing up to work. We’re sure they’ll be happy to get back to you with any questions or concerns you might have.
You can also help by working on two important ballot initiatives. The Outlaw Dirty Money initiative needs tens of thousands of signatures and the Vote NO on Prop 305 (no education vouchers) is another ballot issue that will need your support.
Here’s to a great, productive Spring Theme and Happy Campaigning!!
