Supervisor candidate events
The campaign teams are well-organized and enjoyable to work with. You’ll meet campaign manager Chelsea in D1 for Sandra Fewer, Angeles in D9 for Hillary Ronen, and Emily in D11 for Kim Alvarenga. Jane Kim’s State Senate campaign is run by Charles and Davi, and often coordinates with the Supe campaigns. Get out in the field and meet the candidates and campaign staffs, all hard workers and the best sort of folks!
Put in an hour or two, once each week — check the calendar and help one of the campaigns with voter outreach.
Do this even if the candidate is not in your Supervisor District. The key to success in November is for everyone in Our City to get out and talk to voters.
