Election 2020
The 2020 election season is many things. It is exhilarating, exciting, exhausting, and scary. But more than that, it is hopeful.
We see the audacious hope and energy in the eyes of our volunteers who show up to staff our office. We see it in those who bounce in to pick up blank postcards, return them hand-written and stamped, and grab another stack on their way out the door. We read it in the many emails flying around from our intrepid Neighborhood Leaders, who are personally contacting and virtual door-knocking with their neighbors. And we hear it in the voices of fellow Zoomies as we embrace technology to navigate this critical election season during a global pandemic.
We are hopeful and energetic because we have an absolutely TERRIFIC slate of candidates. You'll meet them below.
