VOLUNTEERS ALWAYS NEEDED

The Campaign would like to ask for volunteers for the following tasks:

1.         Volunteers for the Phone Bank. We need volunteers to call registered voters in the District to remind them to vote or ask them if we can help them in any way. You can call from the Campaign Office or from your own home.  You can select your own hours or days of  week, but it must be before the Election Date on November 2. We’ll provide all necessary instructions, phone scripts,  list of voters’ names and their phone numbers. You can use either English, Spanish or Vietnamese. You can ask a group of friends to get together at someone’s house to make the calls from there. It’s important that we reach out to the voters to see if they need any help or listen to their concerns about this election.

 2.         Volunteers to walk the precincts.  We would like to ask volunteers to walk around certain streets or neighborhoods within the District to meet the residents, introduce the Candidate Lan Nguyen to them, pass out campaign literature, ask them about their concerns for the election or any thing that we can do to help them for this election. You can pick your own times or your own routes to walk, but the best time to meet residents is usually in the afternoons after work time. Like working on the phone bank, we need to reach out to the resident voters to encourage them to vote and to hear what they have to say about the election.

 3.         Volunteers to work at the Campaign Office.  We also need volunteers to work in the office, answer the phones, help in administrative tasks, enter data into the computers, or anything else that is needed for the campaign.  You can also pick your own time schedule or coordinate with other volunteers at the office.

 4.         All others can also help.  If you have relatives, friends or know someone who lives in within the boundary of the District, you can contact those people and ask them to do any of the following: (1) remember to vote on the Election Day, (2) ask their family members and neighbors to vote also, (3) allow the campaign to post the campaign signs on their lawns, (4) introduce the candidate Lan Nguyen to their neighbors around their home, or (5) ask them to make a donation to the campaign if possible.

 Campaigning for this position is not easy as it seems. We need to reach out to almost 120,000 voters and raise at least $50,000 to pay for the basis costs of the campaign.  Each mailer that we send out to the voters costs from $15,000 to $20,000, and we must send out at least three of those mailers just to get enough attention.  The rest of the campaign depends a lot on manual work such as working on the phone bank or walking the precincts.

 For all of us volunteers, this is a good opportunity to learn about  how a political campaign works or  how each of us can provide input in each candidate. Least of all, we should take concrete action to show support for our favorite candidate, something we can be proud of later on if that candidate does well in the election and later on in his or her political carrier. Saying “I support that candidate” alone is not enough to get him elected. Hope to have you volunteer to work in this exciting campaign.
