Hi all
I just spoke with the Franklin County Precinct Captain organizer. They very much need precinct captains! If yours is already filled, which it likely is not --they will give you a nearby open precinct. Think about this-- Kilroy lost to Pryce by a few thousand votes in the last election. If just two or three more precincts were organized that seat would be ours now. And it will be next election IF we organize! There is a training this OCTOBER 11th in the evening.
So to do this... email the following address, Mary Woods (a volunteer, very nice, on vacation for a few days) and she will get back to you. mwoods@ohiodems.org
Or call and leave a message 614-224-1193
Here is a site link for more information along with the general list of duties for a captain.
ALSO: Democracy for America is running a month long series of phone call training sessions on this. If you can't make them they are stored and can be listened to as pod casts at their site. Here is the link below and the general list of duties.
Lets turn around Ohio! Lets turn American Blue!
