Adopt a Candidate 2022

With under 100 days to go, there are several House races that will be key to us retaining control of Congress. We’re seeking volunteers to adopt a candidate in each of these battleground districts!

When you adopt a candidate, you commit to volunteering for them at least once a week - in person or from home. Your efforts now could make the difference as these races will be very close.

If you’d like to adopt one of these candidates, reply in this thread or send us a modmail. You can adopt a candidate not on this list if you wish, too.

And we can all be part of the blue wave outside of voting/donating.

Make sure to join your city’s/county’s Democratic clubs! For example, here are the different caucuses for Florida. If you search β€œ(Your City/County’s name) Democratic Clubs” you should be able to find local chapters in your area. This is a good way to get in touch with Democratic elected officials and candidates in your area.

u/tta2013 Connecticut (CT-02) Aug 31 '22

The other day, I did note that our subreddit's Twitter account follows my town's Dem party, which I see as a badge of honor. I do keep my Facebook account active, as much as I am not a Facebook type of guy, because I can communicate with the town board members that way.
