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
