This is Why I volunteered for Beto...

10. Funny you should mention this!

I had actually looked into volunteering for Beto's campaign awhile back after finding out you could volunteer even if you were out-of-state. I had received links on how to go about volunteering, but with Hurricane Florence, I sort of had other pressing matters to tend to! But after watching the debate last -- and getting a text about helping out his campaign, presumably from a volunteer -- I went through the email and completed the pre-volunteer sign-up procedure in an effort to volunteer for his campaign. Now, I have to wait to hear back if I've been accepted, heh.

I have never volunteered for a campaign before, and now that I have some free time to do so, I looked into what I could do. I found a website -- https://events.mobilizeamerica.io/ -- that had a bunch of events that I could volunteer for, but to be honest, all the events were a bit overwhelming! Plus there weren't very many right in my (very conservative) area of the country. So, I decided to devote my time to volunteer for a "stretch" campaign: one that may be difficult -- but very possible! -- to win. I felt like that is somewhere where my volunteer efforts would be put to the best use, and that is why I am hoping to soon be a volunteer for Beto's campaign!
