Our candidates are giving their time, energy and resources to build a path to a fairer and more stable future. Read on for ways we can support the people who are Running for Us!
To keep up with the many different events our candidates are hosting, please visit our All-in-One Events Bulletin Board, which includes candidate events. There you’ll find Front Porch Conversations where you can get to know candidates personally, Monday Matters discussions about items on the city council agenda, a Dance-Your-Decade fundraiser. And so much more.
Candidate activities are clearly marked on the Bulletin Board and include links when possible. Take a look and pick out a few events to participate in. Find it here.
If you’d like to volunteer for a candidate, please check out our 2026 Volunteer Opportunities Page. Again, this includes links for more information and has something for everyone.
Most importantly, get to know our candidates (the amazing people pictured above!) and help spread the word about them. The most effective way to reach voters is by talking to people who know and trust you personally. Learn about our candidates and share that information when you see your neighbor at the mailbox or when you meet relatives at the next family dinner.
Even sharing with your social media networks is helpful and appreciated.
