GOING DEEP BLUE ON NOVEMBER 8TH
|
Yesterday voting convenience centers opened for Early Voting! Registered Dems in NM have 56% of the ballots cast, with 44% from R’s and others. Let’s keep up the good work!
After Nov 8th, West Side Democrats will hold a business meeting open to all to discuss how we keep our momentum from this election and expand our activity, power, influence, and results with the supersonic growth out here! We have opportunities to work with our new legislature, get all of our precinct chair and ward chair positions filled and rocking, add SCC (State Central Committee) members from the West Side, and so much more. Be part of grassroots Democracy!

Latest on Sunday neighborhood canvassing
from Sue Wolinsky:
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We’ve been canvassing and phone banking for our West Side Dem candidates for the past 6 weeks.
Now it’s time to schedule yourself to volunteer. The West Side Dems Sundays for
candidates are officially over. Thank you to everyone who made it successful!
Here is a list of our West Side candidates who have opponents, and their contact information. They have scheduled their canvassing, phonebanks, etc. Please give them at least 4 more hours this month, if you can! There are still undecideds and last minute voters to turn out! Tell the candidates that WSD sent you!

Need some extra scratch for Christmas,
and want to work for a good cause?
Cynthia Borrego has some funding to pay for Dems to “chase” 1,500 absentee ballots. That is, use the clerk’s list of voters who have asked for an absentee ballot and make sure they are turning them in, or call them if the ballot is still “out there.” Lots of absentee ballots end up sitting on kitchen tables at the end of the election. Help Cynthia win!
Call her as soon as possible to sign on for this important follow up!
Her campaign is willing to pay an hourly rate for this phone banking.

SPECIAL CANVASS
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26
|
|
|
|
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham |
|
Canvass with Randi Weingarten, the national President of AFT (American Federation of Teachers) and Governor MLG! Our retired West Side teacher and Ward Chair of 17A, Dorothy Wilkinson, shares the info:
On Wednesday, October 26th, the Governor and our national AFT Union President, Randi Weingarten, and others will be at the IBEW Union Hall, 4921 Alexander NE (just north of the Renaissance Costo) for a rally at 4 PM. We will all then head over to the west side (location TBD) to canvass. I am inviting you to attend both the rally and the canvass. It would be a fitting cap to all the canvassing we've done for our West Side candidates.

CLEAN ELECTIONS COUNT!
Our party still needs poll challengers and watchers to keep on top of any prohibited activities, long voting lines, etc. We do not want any voter turned away. To be involved in this important work on election day and before please email voterprotection@nmdemocrats.org or contact Chair Flora Lucero or Vice Chair Marisol Enriquez.
The County Clerk still needs election workers. If you would like to participate in this vital and PAID work, please click here...

Lots of interesting info here. Look at voter turnout increases by age—very high for age groups 18 to 29 and 30 to 39. Not only will they be our winning margin, but we need to target those age groups after the election to be our walkers, callers, Precinct Chairs, and even Ward Chairs. The rest of us should be on our way to rocking-chair volunteer retirement, watching reruns of The Golden Girls!!
