There are lots of things to volunteer for in Mason District – so sign up now!
Harris/Walz Combined Campaign – The campaign headquarters is right here in Mason District! The Combined Campaign is at 7535 Little River Turnpike, Suite 209. Matthew Savage and Hannah Frank are our contacts. They have many packet assembly, canvassing, and phone banking opportunities. Volunteer activities are available on the mobilize app.
Postcards to Voters – We meet every other week (September 29 – more dates later) at Peggy Morrison’s house. If you can’t attend these events, we have Postcards to Go packs that can be picked up at Peggy’s house, or at the Mason District Farmers Market (Thursdays 8am-12pm at the Mason District Park). Volunteers are asked to cover the cost of postcard stamps–56 cents each. The campaign we are supporting is Missy Cotter Smasal, who is running for Congress in CD 2 in the Hampton Roads area. This is a must-flip Red-to-Blue seat, so we are focusing all our efforts on her campaign. For more information email Peggy Morrison.
College Student Voter Registration and Education – We started at NOVA Community College – Annandale Campus and George Mason University, talking with commuter students and will continue until Election Day. Our goals are to make sure that students are properly registered, know when and where to vote, and vote Democratic! You will be paired with a more “seasoned” volunteer at first. Vicki Portney oversees our local efforts.
Assist Voters at the Polls this Election – Here are three opportunities to work at polling places to hand out Democratic sample ballots, answer voters’ questions, and recruit new volunteers (any questions? Please contact Bill Millhouser or Rachel Rifkind).
- On Election Day, November 5, either where you vote or at a nearby precinct
- Early voting at Fairfax County Government Center, starting September 20
- Early voting at the Thomas Jefferson Library and the Mason District Governmental Center sites, starting October 17. (The link has both sites — use the tabs at the top to toggle between them.)
