Harris-Walz – October 28, 2024

Posted on October 28, 2024

Team —

With just eight days left before Election Day, I wanted to give you a quick update on where things stand and what you can do to help.

As we’ve been saying since day one, this is an extremely close race and it’s going to take every single one of us getting involved to win.

So, if you have a day, a few hours, or even a few minutes to spare, join us. Click here to find an upcoming Team Harris-Walz event that works for your schedule >>

SIGN UP TODAY

State of the Race

Every single one of our top battleground states is polling within the margin of error. I’ve been doing campaigns for a very long time, and I have never seen all seven battlegrounds this close.

What these polls are telling us is that many people are still undecided. Our job is to make sure we are talking to those voters about the choice they have in front of them and persuading them.

The Vice President and Governor Walz will be traveling all across this country to talk to as many people as possible before they vote. While they’re out on the road, they’re counting on you to reach out to the folks on your contact list, in your neighborhood, and in your community. If everyone in your life is already turning out to vote, then I hope you’ll find a way to reach more undecided voters today.

Early Vote

We are seeing really high turnout in the battleground states. Democrats are returning ballots at a higher rate than Republicans and women are outvoting men across the board.

But Republicans are also voting earlier than ever before. So, we can’t let our foot off the gas. We cannot let the other side outwork us in persuading and mobilizing voters.

We know we have the best candidate — and many people are already turning out to vote for her — but without grassroots energy we could very easily find ourselves facing four more years of Donald Trump. A Donald Trump that is more extreme than ever before.

How You Can Help

I know politics is really hard. It’s tough to find time to get involved or to find the energy to talk to the people in your life about politics. But it is really important in an election this close.

Right now, our campaign is looking for more supporters from your community to volunteer — on the ground, on the phone, even on social media — to help reach undecided voters in the final stretch of this race.

Our team will give you all the training you’ll need, plus you’ll meet fellow volunteers and have meaningful conversations with the voters who will decide this election.

SIGN UP TODAY

Let’s get after it,

Jen

Campaign Chair, Harris for President

Time is running out to vote! Drop your ballot off at one of these ballot boxes: www.bentoncountywa.gov/government/elected_officials/auditor/elections/current_election/drop_boxes...If you know someone: a parent, sibling or friend, who doesn’t vote because they have a feeling it doesn’t matter.... 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 ...

    BADGER FORUM: Laliik: Sacred Mountain in Bureaucratic Quagmire

    September 1, 2026  12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
    https://badgers.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=722&club_id=392306&emtid=3209205288255

    Our iconic Rattlesnake Mountain is known as Laliik to Native Americans, for whom the mountain has been sacred for millennia.  The oft repeated and dubious local claim that it's the tallest treeless mountain neglects the true significance of its geology and ecology.  Its incorporation into the Hanford Site in 1943 initiated a complex history of federal involvement, culminating in its current and persistent off-limits status.   

    This forum will describe the mountain's history, geology, ecology, and cultural significance and seek to understand perspectives on possible futures for one of the region's treasures.

    As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this forum will detail how remarkable it and the Constitution were. Professors Jamie Mayerfeld (UW) and Johann Neem (WWU) will explain how Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, and others, based on principles gleaned from the ancient history of the Greeks and Romans, along with contemporary ideas of the Enlightenment, forged an unprecedented synthesis, resulting in a paradigm shift in governance from monarchy to self-determination.

    It wasn’t easy.

    In this hybrid program these professors will explain the context, the struggles, and the underlying principles anchored in these two founding documents to help us gain a deeper appreciation of how our country brought forth a new age of liberty and governance, one determined by “We the People….”
