Campaign Rally – We want “Better 4 All!”

Join the Douglas County Activism Task Force for a campaign rally on the sidewalks of Lone Tree on Saturday, October 10, from 2 to 4 p.m. This rally is an alternative to the No Kings protest planned for October 17, so the Task Force can focus on supporting our candidates and recruiting volunteers for get-out-the-vote efforts. Participants of all ages are invited to wave candidate signs and signs highlighting shared priorities, such as more affordable groceries and gas and greater transparency.

Volunteers Needed!

Help us turn interest into action. Volunteers are needed to make phone calls, send text messages and postcards, and knock on doors. We have seasoned volunteers ready to show you how you can help. If you have expressed an interest in volunteering, but not yet connected with a volunteer coordinator this election season, email me (1stViceChair@dougcodems.org) and I will introduce you to someone nearby who can help you get started. Every campaign can use your support.  Volunteering is a great way to contribute in a constructive manner and help save our democracy.

A message from our State House District 44 candidate, Richard Bowness

Thank you for volunteering in HD44 this election season!

 

Canvassing is one of the most powerful things we can do to build a stronger, more inclusive Parker and Douglas County, and your work on the doors makes a real difference. If you'd like company while canvassing this fall, or have any questions about the campaign, don't hesitate to call or text me at 720-425-0089.

 

My October weekends are wide open for GOTV, so please reach out anytime, I'm always happy to help. Can't wait to hit the doors with you and help turn HD44 blue this fall!

 

With gratitude,

Richard (Rick) Bowness
