Get Involved, Get out the Vote

Voter education is a crucial part of Special Election campaigns. Many reliable voters may not know that elections are happening and turnout is often low. The Cruce and Seigfried campaigns are working around the clock to contact voters in their districts to get them out for this Special Election. They are looking for volunteers to help them talk to local Democrats and encourage them to vote. To join the team or sign up for a volunteer shift visit our mobilize page at www.mobilize.us/deldems
