DUer asking for support [View all]

[duhneece]

This DUer is running for state senate, in part to elect US Congresswoman in extremely tight race and all Democrats up and down ballot.

This is a challenging year to be running. In non-Covid times, I would be canvassing and holding fundraising and vote gaining events. Our Governor and state Democratic Party is suggesting we not be walking and knocking on doors….so our campaign works with our local Democratic Party of Otero County DPOC for other methods. Even with volunteers for phone banking, all other efforts cost money that I can’t get from holding events so I’m pleading for DU support. DUer Omaha Steve inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and run for office and has been an amazing help and resource. I’m asking other DUers to run for office, especially if they are in a Republican/Red area. Think about what you would do differently, what you would replicate.

This is where we are now:
DPOC has committed to do the following projects in the next two months:

POSTCARD PROJECT: printed both sides, 6" x 6" postcards, gloss cover w/maiing services and postage, wording will include: "Otero County Democratic Party". Draft of proposed postcard attached for your information.

* Distribution: 24,500 mailboxes in Otero County, printed and mailed by last week of September (prior to beginning of absentee voting)
*sizes: 6" x 6" or 8" x 10", dependent on amount of donations received by Sept. 15th.
*Donation sources: National, state, and county campaigns; DPOC ($1000); large donors; and DPOC active members
*Amount needed: $8500 - $9500.

We are asking for your help in this project!



Other projects being implemented:

Digital Billboard: new digital billboard is located on Margo's (1st Street across from Walmart). Will begin running 4 weeks prior to election through Election Day. DPOC is funding this project in the amount of $2000 for 4 spots; each spot is on screen 7 -8 seconds every 6-7 minutes. all screens will use the wording: "Otero County Democratic Party"

* 1 spot = "VOTE BLUE" on blue background
* 1 spot = 1 photo of national candidates per screen, rotating 3 within spot
* 2 spots = photos of local candidates (state and county), 2 pix per screen, rotating all 8 within each spot

Information Distribution:

Traditionally, the office is also made available to candidates for canvassing, phone banking, etc.
