Candidate Recruitfest -- Learn about elective office opportunities

Share Button

Flier Blurb

Are you a capable person who may have thought you could do a better job than the scoundrels currently in office? You may be surprised to know that many seats throughout the East County area go unchallenged at each election, and they default the last appointee – almost always an insider who has been groomed to give out contract candy to their business buddies.

Frankly, we are sick and tired of watching the absurd decision making of these officials, but we can’t change this situation alone. We need people like you who are willing to give up a few nights a month to be involved in local government, to add some sanity to the mix.

If you are interested in serving your community, if you think you may know people who might be interested, or if you are just knowledgeable about local politics, we would appreciate your attendance at the Candidate Recruitfest!

You don’t need to have a seat in mind, we’ll help you find a race to enter. And, we provide free training for candidates so you can run a respectable campaign. There is nothing better on your resume but a line stating that you’ve served your community as an elected official.

Indeed, we are looking for qualified Democrats who wish to run. Also, if you are a progressive Decline-to-State (nonpartisan) we may be able to help you, although you won’t have the full backing of the Party.

GET INVOLVED IN YOUR GOVERNMENT!
