SHOUT OUT to Rita Carr at the CoC!
A very special thank you to Rita Carr with the Continum of Care (CoC) for coming out and telling us all about how Johnson County is helping out the homeless by connecting them to resources. It was great to hear about the good planned for our community – a lively discussion with lots of great questions! Julie K. Brewer, our own candidate for JOCO County Commissioner, Seat 3, is the previous CEO of CoC!
Many thanks to all who came (almost 30 people) – it was great to hear from all the candidates!
We are the ones 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.
The location for all sessions will be the Carmack Room at the Central Resource Library on 87th.
