70 Days Until Election Day
Happy Tuesday, Activists!
Governor Tim Walz told us the mission at the DNC: "It’s the fourth quarter.” “We’re down a field goal, but we’re on offense and we’ve got the ball.” "We have to get in the trenches, do the blocking and tackling. One inch at a time. One yard at a time. One phone call at a time. One door knock at a time. One five dollar donation at a time."
And that's what we're here to do with you! We continue to talk to voters at the doors and tell them about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. This is the best way to move the voters, because at this point they still do not know the details about them. But once they know about them, voters are fully on the Harris/Walz train.
So you can canvass with us. And you can sign up for our 35 Doors Program and talk to your neighbors and answer their questions about this team and about the election. Or do some of the other things we have listed below. We have lots of options for you!
We're looking forward to seeing you out there!
