Important Information from Hillary Clinton’s Campaign

Hillary Clinton’s campaign website has a section called “The Briefing”, which gives timely information in the form of factsheets, press releases, factchecks, and videos.  Here is a link to one of her recent videos on Donald Trump’s “Economic Plans”.

UPCOMING EVENTS AT THE OFFICE

Each year, the Washington County Dems make goals, which we revisit throughout the year. This year one of our goals was as follows:

The Washington County Dems will focus on increasing voter contact throughout 2016 with the goal of achieving a Dem performance of 32% or higher in the Presidential, U.S. Senate, and State races in our county.

It’s time to make good on this goal by filling (and overfilling) our volunteer shifts each and every time so we are making as many voter contacts as possible. This is how we reach 32% (or higher!) in November. Please look over the volunteer shifts and select as many as you can. Each call and each knock brings us closer to our goal!
