We Are Community- Driven

Local campaigns run on neighbors talking to neighbors. Sign up to help Heather reach Ward 5 voters, share what she is fighting for, and build the kind of campaign Manchester deserves.

Why Volunteer

Local Races Come Down to Local Work

A state rep race is close enough for one conversation to matter. When you knock a door, make a call, host a neighbor, or help behind the scenes, you help more Ward 5 voters hear from Heather before they vote.

Help Voters Know Their Choices

Many people do not hear much about state rep races. Volunteers help voters learn who Heather is, what she is fighting for, and how to vote.

Reach More People

A sign or mailer helps. A real person helps more. Volunteers make the campaign harder to ignore.

Use the Skills You Already Have

Doors and calls matter, but so do writing, research, data entry, signs, events, and letters to the editor.

Build a Better Campaign

This campaign should feel local because local people built it. That means neighbors, friends, renters, parents, workers, and people with one free Saturday.

Volunteer Roles

What Volunteer Work Looks Like

Pick the work that fits your time and comfort level. Some roles involve talking with voters. Some do not. Both matter.

General Questions

Choose “I’m Not Sure Yet” on the form. A volunteer will follow up, ask what sounds comfortable, and help you pick a first task.

That is enough. Local campaigns need one-hour helpers, one-day helpers, and regular volunteers. Start with what you have.

No. The campaign will train you. If you care about Ward 5 and want Heather to win, there is useful work for you.

Talking to People (In-Person)

You visit voters in Ward 5 with a short script and campaign literature. You introduce Heather, ask what issues matter to the voter, and record basic responses for the campaign. New volunteers get training before they start.

No. The goal is a respectful conversation, not a debate. If someone is busy, uninterested, or upset, you thank them and move on.

You help with setup, sign-in, greeting people, handing out materials, answering basic questions, or cleaning up. You do not need to be the loudest person in the room.

You invite a small group of friends, neighbors, coworkers, or family to meet Heather. The campaign helps with the plan, talking points, and follow-up.

You stand with campaign signs at approved locations or events. Some people wave. Some people stand quietly and smile. Both count.

You leave campaign literature at doors. You usually do not knock or talk with voters. This is a good role if you want to walk and help without starting conversations.

Talking to People (Remotely)

You call voters from a campaign list. The campaign gives you a script, a goal for the call, and a way to record responses. Calls help reach voters who are harder to contact at the door.

You send campaign-approved messages to voters or supporters. Texting helps remind people about events, voting information, volunteer shifts, and Heather’s campaign.

Helping in Other Ways

You record a short video saying why you support Heather. The campaign may use it online, with your permission, to help other voters hear from real Ward 5 supporters.

You help deliver, place, or track yard signs for supporters who requested them. The campaign will give you locations and instructions.

You help enter voter responses, volunteer signups, event notes, or other campaign information. This helps the campaign follow up with the right people.

You help with graphics, emails, social posts, flyers, website updates, or other campaign materials. The campaign will give you a clear task and review before anything goes public.

You help find useful information for the campaign. That might mean checking voting information, local issues, public records, event opportunities, or press contacts.

You write a short letter to a local paper about why you support Heather or why an issue matters in Ward 5. The campaign can help you choose a topic and keep it within the paper’s word limit.

Another Way to Help

No Free Time? Help Fund the Work.

Life is busy. Your donation still helps Heather reach voters through signs, literature, mail, events, and field organizing. The clipboard army needs paper, pens, and occasionally snacks.
