Interested in Running for Office? Join this Party training 'Campaigning 101' — sdcdp.ngpvanhost.com

Interested in running for local office or working on a campaign in 2022? Campaign season is quickly approaching for next year's midterm elections -- when hundreds of local seats on city councils, school boards, community planning boards, and other districts across the entire County will be on the ballot. This is the perfect time to learn more about and San Diego County Democratic Party is here to help get you started.

Campaigning 101: Overview and Fundamentals, a virtual info session, will be held July 7, 2021, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., remotely on Zoom. 

Open to prospective candidates and campaign staff alike, this complimentary session will cover topics including: the process of becoming a candidate and determining which seat to run for, the role and structure of campaign staff and support, an overview of the San Diego County Democratic Party's candidate endorsement process, and guidance on next steps and considerations you can take. The steady progress Democrats have made across the County, including major local wins in 2020, reflect strong voter support for electing Democrats who truly understand and represent the values of their communities. We're glad you've ready to get involved, at any level, and hope to see you at this event.

Apply for Our Political Organizing Academy — sdcdp.ngpvanhost.com

Applications are now open for currently enrolled or recently graduated students to participate in the County Party's Political Organizing Academy this summer or fall. The program is a great way to get hands-on political experience and interaction with Democratic activists and Party leaders.

Organizers support various activities and projects of the Party, including administration, field organizing, research, finance, communications and social media. Their time will be a mix of in-person and remote participation.

These volunteer positions often involve connecting with campaigns or government offices, which can lead to further opportunities -- as they have for a number of our former organizers.

Applicants should demonstrate strong verbal and written communication skills, attention to detail, and proficiency in standard office technology. They should be able to volunteer at least five to ten hours per week, possibly including some weekend hours. Finally, they should possess a genuine interest in politics and support the Democratic Party's platform and candidates. Please visit sddems.link/organizer for more information on how to apply.
