Notes from the Chair:

Re: Time for Action

I f I have done my math correctly, we have just over 11 months until the Presidential Election. If I remember 2018, time will go so quickly the election will be on us in no time at all. Of course, we do have the Democratic Primary just around the corner in March.  We need to maximize Democratic turnout in the Primary.  Our message for all Democrats is that it is time to get voting and get working. We must change the occupant in the White House. Chip Roy must be defeated. We need to put a Democrat on the Texas State School board. We need to help at least nine new Democrats join the Texas State House so we can end Republican dominance in Austin. If you haven’t joined our effort please go to our website and sign up to be a volunteer.  In Kendall County we have 11 voting precincts and the KCDP has a Precinct Chair for each precinct. They are looking for volunteers. You can go to our website and find your precinct and how to contact the chair and volunteer. We need folks to staff the new office, register voters, block walk, phone bank, send out postcards and much more.

Finally, let me extend my personal appreciation for all that you are doing for the Kendall County Democratic Party. Don’t forget to attend one of our upcoming events, they all will be great fun.

Announcing "Digital Office Hours" at the New Office!


 Laura Bray and Becky Strain are pleased to announce that we will hold “Digital Office Hours” every Wednesday morning from 9-11am at the new office, starting on December 4. (No session on Dec 25 or Jan 1.) Stop by with your questions on any of these tools:
 
  • VAN
  • MiniVAN
  • Virtual Phone Banks
  • Mobilize America (event scheduling)
  • Skedda (office space scheduling)
  • Hustle (texting tool; coming soon)
  • MapTheVote
  • Any other digital tool I may have missed
 
You can bring your laptop/device, or use Laura's or Becky’s laptop. Please sign up for date and time @ Mobilize.
 
A specific training session for MapTheVote is in the works for December; We’ll let you know as soon as it’s set.
 
We are happy to schedule some other time to work with you, if Wednesday mornings aren’t convenient; just let us know. (Becky also makes house calls!)
 
For our “non-techie” volunteers: we have experts on all of these tools who are happy to run VAN lists for you, schedule you for an event shift, book your office space, or whatever other assistance you require. No need to pull out your hair trying to learn a tool/app that you’d just rather not mess with.
 
We hope you’ll take advantage of our “office hours,” and please feel free to share with your key volunteers. We look forward to seeing you!

The KCDP Office must be open at this time so that Kevin (Party Chair) and Sandy (Party Secretary) can accept any last-minute filings for anyone wanting to run for county office in the Democratic Party next March.
