Ron Faas, DCSMV Precinct Organization Chair, Encourages a Final Push for electing John Laird

 

Thanking you for your help so far with the Laird Campaign &/or prior to the June 8th primary, please do what you can in the next few days for this final push to elect John Laird to the state senate in this Tuesday’s special general election.

 

Remember, by setting the special election primary shortly after the June 8th primary and the runoff in the middle of the summer, the governor is betting that Laird supporters won’t vote!

 

The good news, however, is that compared to the same number of days from Election Day, Vote-By-Mail ballots have been returning at a higher rate for the special general election than for the special primary.  And these are running heavily Democratic, reflecting the reality that registered Democrats hold a 6½ % edge over Republicans in the 15th state senate district.

 

Now we need to get our polling place voters out to vote next Tuesday August 17th.  Here’s how you can help.  Call the Laird Campaign office, Phone: 614-7810; (805) 614-7815 or email  hillary@lairdforsenate.com; or sign up at www.lairdforsenate.com to volunteer for one or more of the following:

 

Phone banking at Laird Campaign HQ, 327 E. Plaza Dr. suite 4 , or from an online system using your computer at home.


Tomorrow, Saturday August 14, 10 am & Sunday August 15, 10 am.  Drop doorhangers in big GOTV push.  (Walkers may also pick up your doorhangers today, August 13th during the day at Laird HQ.)

Monday, August 16, all day until 8:30 pm.  GOTV Phonebanking at Laird HQ.

ELECTION DAY, Tuesday, August 17 from 6:30 am to 8:00 pm.  Walk, drop doorhangers, make phone calls, help in the office, do poll checks, etc. 

This is our chance to match Republican $ & negative ads with Democratic energy, commitment and boots on the ground.  Help John Laird seal the deal in this final stretch.
