Come see us IRL in Virginia!
As we gear up for midterms, it’s crucial that we come together to ensure Virginia remains a Democratic stronghold. We can’t overstate how important it is to reclaim the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond, and vote in a blue slate of state seats.
That’s why we’re hosting an in person, day-long Candidate Bootcamp on SATURDAY, APRIL 5, AT 12PM EASTERN, HIGHLAND SPRINGS, VA (in the Richmond area). This comprehensive training will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to run a winning campaign and keep Virginia blue from top to bottom.
Whether you’re considering a run for office or working on a campaign, this bootcamp is for you! You’ll learn essential strategies for:
- Fundraising: Power mapping donors and perfecting your ask
- Field management: Assessing votes and crunching numbers to persuade the right voters
- Messaging: Finding your why and refining your message in a fractured media landscape
- Digital CTAs: Creating effective calls-to-action that drive results
