Volunteer opportunities include writing postcards or letters, making calls or sending texts to get feedback on the recent campaign season, data entry, compiling and updating reference materials, delivering literature to homes, creating content for the website, helping subcommittee chairs, joining a working group, planning events, organizing the office, and more. Staffed by volunteers. Hours vary and will increase with each passing week as the election nears Call 831-333-0101 for recorded information. Email the chair or other officers, if preferred.
