We just have three days of work left until the election. I’m so grateful for all the support we’ve had from voters, donors, and volunteers. It’s honestly a little overwhelming. But it’s not too late to help!

1. Share!

I believe strongly that campaigns move policy. That’s why we’ve made a couple videos focusing on my work on behavioral health/opioid epidemic and growth/environmental issues. If we can show my colleagues that people support our position, we’re more likely to make progress. Please check them out and share if you’re willing. It’s more valuable coming from you than from me. Click on the images below to go to the page, like, and share.

2. Contribute!
While we have to reach more voters than the average legislative campaign, county council can only raise about 1/3 of the money. Unfortunately we’re behind our fundraising plan, in part thanks to a strong showing in the primary (a good problem to have!) but we still have bills to pay. If you can help with anything, please click here to contribute.

3. Vote!
Turn in your ballot and encourage others to do the same! We can’t win unless people vote! You don’t even need postage now, although you have to make sure to drop it before pickup. Best use a drop box on election day. Each elections thousands of ballots have to be discarded because they weren’t postmarked on or before Election Day. If you lost your ballot or have any other issues, please call (253) 798-VOTE. Here’s the Auditor’s website for more resources.
