Friends,

The Fairfax Government Center absentee voting location is open Monday through Saturday and it's critical that we have volunteers there to inform our voters. Please help staff this important effort by clicking HERE.

Participating in canvasses and phone banks, contributing at fundraisers, and attending community forums are a few ways in which you can make a difference in favor of our Democratic candidates. Take a look at the listing of events below and find an opportunity.

Poll Greeting Basics

Oakton Campaign Office, 2942 Hunter Mill Road, Oakton

Believe it or not, many voters come to their polling locations unsure of who they plan to vote for. Plus, eleven of our thirteen Democratic candidates on voters' ballots are not designated with a "D" or "R".  (See What Your Ballot Won't Tell You for more information.)
 
Serving as a poll greeter is a critical job, especially in 2019! Getting our sample ballot into the hands of all the voters is crucial to them voting the entire Democratic ticket. Come learn specific strategies from our precinct operations team that will maximize your success. Also, hear from our voter protection team about what poll greeters can do to ensure every voter’s rights are recognized. Signup HERE

Laura Jane Cohen, seeking school board seat, has long worked hard to protect children

[Excerpt from The Blue View article by Springfield Democrat, Susan Laume.]

Laura Jane Cohen worked hard to protect children long before she decided to run for elected office. Cohen, the Democratic endorsed candidate for Springfield District’s seat on the Fairfax County School Board, heard the terrible news of a mass school shooting in Connecticut one day seven years ago as she was substitute teaching at her local elementary school – a school where her own children attended kindergarten and second grade.
