I’d love to run a poll and ask how many people have actually worked on a political campaign. Not posted about it but actually worked.

But I’m not sure people would answer it honestly.

Anyway, this is my regular reminder to do more than post- please sign up to volunteer, get involved and listen to people out in the real world, encourage people to vote and tell them why you do, volunteer to be a poll worker, help people register and get to the polls.

We all have to do some real work here.

My first was in 6th grade, handing out fliers for a City Council Candidate. Worked on a Governor campaign for someone from my hometown. Started in earnest in about 1990 for Mike Thompson for CA State Senate, walking precincts. Worked all his campaigns. Walked for Supervisors, Council members, school board members, organized one of the first fund raisers for Dianne Feinstein for Senate. Campaigned for my successful three terms on City Council. "Come on, it'll be fun" was the motto.

@mizblueprint It actually is fun.

Thanks for doing all of that and sharing it. My first campaign was for a local representative in the 80s. First Presidential campaign was for Bill Clinton. I’ve done 30, 35 years worth of local, state and federal since, sometimes 6 to 8 at a time. More if you add school board. This year it’s Harris, state auditor, a treasurer, my state level representative, my U.S. House rep, and my U.S. Senator.

I’m also an elected committee member on my local Dems. 😅
