Dear Friends,
Election Day is November 6 — only a few weeks away. The race for the Board of Education is going to be close and every single vote counts!
Voters face a simple choice between Kids First, with a proven record of educational and financial reform, and our opponents, who will take the district back in time to its pre-reform state.
It’s vitally important that reform-minded voters not only vote for Board of Education, but help get out the vote.
You can help in lots of different ways: donate to the campaign, register to vote, “like” us on
Facebook, follow us on
Twitter, put a campaign sign in your window, canvass with a candidate, hold a candidate “Meet and Greet,” and tell your friends why it’s important to vote Kids First.
But most important is helping us inform voters on election day itself. We’ve had great success in the past with volunteers on election day and we must repeat that success this year. Please consider volunteering an hour or two to help keep the reform majority this November 6. Simply reply to this email to let us know that you want to help continue the progress.
Donate: We are a grassroots campaign and every donation — no matter the size — does make a difference. You can donate online via
Facebook or at
this web page. (To donate by check, simply reply to this email to let us know. We’ll provide the details.)
Register to Vote: And don’t forget to
update your voter registration if you have recently changed your address. The deadline is only one week away: October 16.
Register to Vote By Mail: If you can’t vote in person on November 6, you can
apply to vote by mail. To receive your ballot by mail, your application must be received by the County Clerk seven (7) days prior to the election. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m. the day before the election.
