Elections are a team effort and there are many components in a successful campaign, including the candidate and their hard working campaign staff as well as an army of dedicated volunteers and the donors who fill up the campaign coffers. Speaking from experience as both volunteers on election campaigns and (successful!) candidates, Bowinn & Boyle share the nitty gritty of electing strong community champions. From putting elastics on door hangers to making get-out-the-vote phone calls on E Day, there's a job for everyone! And yes, there will be hummus. Lots of hummus.
