Today is the one-week mark to the influential CA primary and of course we all want for Dems to have a great showing. With the highest number of competitive House seats of any state in the nation, all eyes will be on California's all-important turnout numbers!
This is one of those weeks when the rubber meets the road. CA is considered the pathway to the House majority this election. Please pull out all your stops to help with turnout! Here are FOUR ways we ask each of you to help:
1) CA volunteers - If you haven't already, please mail your ballot in ASAP. It will help with the speed of announcing the results. IndiMarin prepared this Marin Ballot Guide which includes helpful recs for all statewide offices. Be sure to vote for Senator Padilla in BOTH sections.
2) All volunteers - Do you have any CA Dems in your life who might forget/procrastinate about sending in their ballot? Please send them a friendly reminder and include our Ballot Guide to make it easy for them to vote.
3) All volunteers - If you use social media, please post reminders about voting. Sharing our Ballot Guide is helpful as a reference point for all the statewide races.
4) All volunteers - IMPORTANTLY, will you commit to spend at least TWO HOURS THIS WEEK GETTING OUT THE VOTE? The primary results are an important indicator of candidates' strength in November, and we want them to go into the general election with momentum on their side!
IndiMarin has two great options for pitching in. Due to the recent redistricting, both Katie Porter and Josh Harder, while incumbents, are now running races with a majority of voters from other previous districts. So they need our help introducing themselves to these new voters and increasing turnout!
Sign up here to phonebank for Katie Porter on Wednesday, June 1 at 12 PM and/or Saturday, June 4 at 10 AM PT. We've been having many positive conversations with voters.
Sign up here to canvass for Josh Harder for Saturday, June 4 and/or Sunday, June 5 in Mountain Home. We're partnering with the Tracy Dems and have been chatting with very friendly residents in this lovely suburban community just a little over an hour from Marin.
Thank you in advance for choosing to take time this week to help with turnout for the all-important CA primary!
