Canvassing for endorsed candidates

We're kicking off the primary election season and will be canvassing for candidates receiving endorsements from the county party.

By helping our candidates gain name recognition early, we increase the chances of them winning in November. This is especially important towards our goal of winning the House and keeping the Senate and governorship.

And in some instances, such as local non-partisan races and legislative races with no Republican challenger, the election is over after the primary, barring a need for a run-off.

We especially need volunteers for our first canvass, on Saturday, March 25th for Jesse Cornett.

Information on these canvasses, including the ability to sign up, can be found at http://www.multdems.org/canvass
