John,
As a former professor, I love engaging with students. One of the most fun parts of campaigning is getting to earn the votes of students who attend UC Irvine or one of the many community colleges in the district.
In 2018, we had a field office right on campus. That allowed students to easily volunteer and learn about our campaign. We even canvassed in the dorms—where you can talk to a whole lot of voters in a very short time—and found that some of our best canvassers were our retired volunteers. We also found that our student volunteers were some of the most successful canvassers in retirement communities! Recently, I talked about how there is really something special and infectious about people interacting across generations, united by a common goal of electing candidates who will stand up to special interests, address climate change, and protect our democracy. Check it out.
In 2022, we’ll have to work hard to earn the votes of students—who will be key to our success. And because students tend to move frequently, we’ll have to invest in voter education so that students remember to update their voter registration and receive a ballot on time.
As campaigning starts to gear up, consider joining our team. Both your donations and your time will help us reach voters and keep this must-win seat blue.
