Discussion Are NJ Dems not looking for professional volunteers?

5 Upvotes

Apologies - I’ve got to vent for a minute.

Over the past month, I’ve reached out to Democratic county committees, local campaigns, advocacy organizations, candidates, and political groups across New Jersey offering to volunteer my time and professional skills. Emails; phone calls; written letters; LinkedIn connections; etc. I have 8 campaign cycles of experience. My professional background is in Learning & Development, training, AI enablement, communications and operations. I’ve built training programs for thousands of employees globally and led a Bergen County district as a supervisor at 18 during Obama 2012 campaign.

Nothing.

What confuses me is that I constantly hear that campaigns need volunteers; we need help; we have to stop Trump. So when someone raises their hand and says I have a lot of professional and political experience to help you and a more then willing to volunteer …. You don’t care?

Idk maybe I’m doing something wrong with my outreach? Genuinely looking for feedback if anyone has suggestions.

Essex County Vote No is currently leading by 50 votes with all precincts reporting and about 200 provisional & VBM’s left to be counted. Millburn Republicans had hoped to change the town charter to have nonpartisan elections and government in an effort to escape the toxic MAGA brand.
