A Message from the DNC National Training Team

Hello Democrats,

Only FIVE MORE DAYS until the 2025 election! Thank you to everyone across the country who has been working hard to get out the vote for Democrats and important ballot measures at the local and state levels. If you’re looking for ways to get involved, keep reading for information on GOTV events and post-election training opportunities. 

Let’s GOTV!

This election is fast approaching, and we need all hands on deck for races and ballot initiatives in Virginia, New Jersey, Maine, California, and other states to get out the vote. Here are some ways you can support these states in the final days leading up to the election:

Tell them to vote for their kids, to vote for their brother or sister, for their neighbor. It might matter to that other person and we are MUCH stronger when we do things for each other... not for ourselves. #vote #franklincountywa #bentoncountywa #tricities ... See MoreSee Less

    ADDICTION not only disrupts lives but also has significant social and economic impacts for the larger community. Opening of the Columbia Valley Center for Recovery represents a major advancement in the regional services needed to help address addiction challenges.

    In recognition of the opening of the Center for Recovery, the August 5 Badger Club Forum will feature an important conversation about causes, prevention and treatment of addiction. Two experts will consider what addiction is; the gap between what we know and what we do; what the community is and can be doing; what families need to know; and substance abuse prevention and looking to the future.

Still at 6pm on Friday the 14th. The group will order a selection of pizzas and some of our generous members will share some pitchers of beer. You're on your own for salad bar and soda. Sorry about the last minute change!
