June 30, 2018 Kelly BlackburnNewsLeave a Comment on 2018 Campaign Volunteer Opportunities

2018 Campaign Volunteer Opportunities

As many of you know we have a full slate of Democrat candidates up for election this year. This is the first time in nearly 30 years that we have had this much opportunity to have our voices heard at the ballot box.

Jana Lynne Sanchez

Our own Jana Lynne Sanchez won her primary runoff and is now working hard to represent us in Washington. Just this week The Economist called her race for District 6 a toss-up. What does that mean? It means with our help she can win!!! We will have Ellis County represented in Washington DC!!!

Her campaign can be found here…   She has multiple opportunities to block walk, make phone calls, etc.. you can sign up to help here…

Her support for our local candidates has been fantastic and we need to return that love!

Beto O’Rourke

On Saturday July 7th at 1PM, our Headquarters will be hosting a Beto Grassroots HQ opening party. From then until November, HQ will be open Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6-9 and on Saturdays from 12-4 for the purpose of building support for our Democratic candidates.

These events will be open to everyone who wants to make phone calls, block walk, register voters etc.. Beto’s campaign is picking up a lot of steam and he is within striking distance of Ted Cruz. The buzz he is generating is gaining national attention and will be a big boost to our local efforts.

To sign up to attend the grand opening click here.
