Upcoming Canvass Events with Ohio Dems
The Ohio Dems continue to build momentum and support for Democratic candidates in our area! Here’s what one volunteer had to say about his experience:
“Not only did the volunteers prepare me for success by setting proper expectations in advance, they also gave me the tools I needed to be effective …in just the last 4 weeks, I’ve met with many people who share my convictions, one or two who couldn’t be bothered, and more than a few folks who were unaware of who was running but were genuinely grateful for the information.” – Jim Brown, new volunteer.
Want to share your volunteer experience? We would love to hear more. Send us an email!
