Help Kriss Marion flip Assembly District 51 blue by volunteering NOW!
Citizen Action of Wisconsin endorsed candidate and co-op member Kriss Marion is running in a very tight race in Assembly district 51. This is an important assembly seat that we can win! We need volunteers to make this win a reality! Here are two important ways to get involved!
‘Saturday Lit Drop in Monroe’ – volunteers will be meeting at 292113th Street in Monroe, WI to drop literature on voter’s doors. The Green County Democratic Party and Team Kriss Marion for Wisconsin are hosting a day of socially distanced literature drops throughout the city of Monroe. Masks, gloves, T shirts, buttons, and walk lists will be provided, possibly some snacks as well! Come with walking shoes to disperse fliers for Kriss Marion for Assembly and Biden / Harris throughout a very important city – help us flip Monroe!
Weekly phone banks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5pm – 7pm, and Saturday from 11am – 1pm. No training required, no personal phone required! This is crucial work to help us identify undecided voters. Assembly District 51 was just identified by CNNalysis as “Leaning Blue” – but we know the Republicans are going to throw hundreds of thousands into this race in the last 6 weeks and we can’t afford to lose momentum. Join us and phone bank for Kriss to help flip the 51st blue! Contact Victoria Stewart at [email protected] for more information on joining phone banking efforts!
