(146,317 posts)I talk to every candidate for local and district offices.
I get and study their literature and websites.
I get ample quantities of literature from candidates I will be supporting.
I study the positions of major candidates.
I walk my precinct. Myself. Independently.
I meet and talk to people in my precinct during the campaign season as I walk the precinct.
I ask them what their concerns are, and respond based on the information from the candidates.
I ask them to go to the polls and vote. I check to make sure their registration is current.
If someone isn't registered, I help them get registered.
If they're Republicans, I try to show them why the positions of the Democrats I'm supporting work for them.
If they're Democrats, I help them understand how important their vote is.
I give everyone a business card identifying me as the precinct chair. It has the precinct website URL, my phone number, and my email address on it.
It takes three months of weekends for me to walk the entire precinct and knock on every door. I don't talk to everyone, but I talk to a lot of people. I leave a lot of literature.
My precinct turns out a constant 60%+ on election day.
That's what I do.
