WRITE POSTCARDS
Want to get involved right now in the election? We need you to write postcards!
Johnson County Move On is organizing a post card writing campaign. They have “adopted” several races in Johnson County to support in various ways. At the moment they are writing to new Democrats in Senate 10, who were moved there in the redistricting in 2022 to let them know that Andrew Mall is running to represent them.
We are the one’s we have been waiting for.
ATTEND JOCO CANVASSING TRAINING
Connecting new volunteers with experienced canvassers
helps to create social connections and cohesion in our organization.
Everyone should attend the canvassing training – at least to know how we are talking to residents of JOCO and maybe to refine how you approach your friends and relatives as well.
Our experienced canvassers have had a wide variety of training, and some have never had formal training. We now have a JoCo Dem Data Team that can utilize the data we collect at the door. If we want to collect valid and reliable data, we need to standardize our data collection methods across Senate Districts. Canvass Training Dates:
Wed, 4/24, 6-8pm Sun, 4/28, 2-4pm Sat, 5/11, 2-4pm
The location for all 3 sessions will be the Carmack Room at the Central Resource Library on 87th.

About Us
Johnson County Democratic Women North and South are part of the Kansas Federation of Democratic Women, which is part of the National Federation of Democratic Women.
Our mission is to empower women to run for office and to support the election of like-minded Democrats to state and local office. We do this through education and training, but especially through donations to qualified candidates. Your financial donation to either of our organizations will go directly to Democratic candidates running in Johnson County.
