This is truly OUR campaign, and we're going to win it the old fashioned way, precinct by precinct, voter by voter. If you live in the 14th, 16th or 20th Assembly District you already should have a sample ballot with their names right on it!

THE FUN PART: This is the easiest, most rewarding precinct walking imaginable. We're walking for our own grassroots activists, and
voters are responding wonderfully. In the four weeks since walking began, voters are thanking us for being the ones who finally came to their doors and told them what the heck the local Democratic Party organization actually is. They're delighted to learn that our candidates want to get the local Party active and effective.

P.S. Please remember to:

  • Come at 9:30 a.m. for coffee, juice, fruit, other munchables, (the FOOD) and orientation
  • 10:00 a.m. Join our candidates, drop off fliers for Karen, Mark, Janet, Edie, Sumi, Ces, Andrea, and Eleanor
  • 1:30 p.m. (or so) Lunch (more FOOD!) and chit chat
  • RSVP @
