We urge you to support these candidates in any way you can:

●      Share these endorsements with your friends, neighbors, organizations, networks and social media.

●      Donate to their campaigns.

●      Sign up to volunteer at the candidates’ websites (to post signs, sign-wave, canvas, phone-bank, host fundraisers, etc).

●      Write letters to the editor.

●      Vote early so the campaigns don’t spend resources reminding you to vote.

Please vote!…and vote early…preferably in a ballot drop box 🙂
