Today was, expectedly, more busy than usual because today was the primary election for all city council candidates in both Toledo and Maumee. We got a few calls from people that didn't live in Toledo or Maumee (but lived in Lucas County), and we just told them that they don't have an election this year. … Continue reading September 10, 2019 →

Today was mainly tons of preparation for tomorrow, which is the primary day for Toledo residents. Basically, today was "the calm before the storm". Tomorrow, we will have all of the Toledo City Council candidates on the ballot. Maumee is the only other city with primary elections (it's only city council for both cities). Even … Continue reading September 9, 2019 →

Today was an exciting day for me because today we got a visit from a former field organizer for the Ohio Democratic Party. He previously was stationed here at the Lucas County Democratic Party during the 2018 midterms, where he campaigned for statewide candidates like Sherrod Brown and Connie Pillich (who ran for treasurer). He … Continue reading September 6, 2019 →

Today I continued to phone bank for City Council president, Matt Cherry. The way I call them is I have lists of peoples' names, their addresses, their age, their political preferences, and of course, their phone number. If they don't answer the phone, you mark checkboxes labeled "not home", "line disconnected", "wrong number", etc. If … Continue reading September 5, 2019 →

I don't believe I mentioned this in my previous blog post, but we missed the call from the man complaining about taxes yesterday (he left a voice message). That's why I was calling him back. Unfortunately, he didn't answer, but I left a voice message to let him know that we are solely a political … Continue reading September 4, 2019 →

Today I learned something pretty exciting about the Lucas County Democratic Party: the Headquarters will be relocated! The building we are currently in is functional, but it is pretty old and very small. I was able to get a look at the new floor plan for the headquarters because I had to update it (explaining … Continue reading September 3, 2019 →

Each day, I continue to learn more and more about the candidates in the Toledo area. Today, Yvonne Harper, the councilwoman from District 4, stopped in the office today. For most locally elected Democratic government officials, the Lucas County Democratic Party is almost a campaign HQ where they can receive advice and resources (since they … Continue reading August 30, 2019 →

The first thing I worked today was updating a spreadsheet. This spreadsheet had an all-encompassing list of elected officials in all of Lucas County. The spreadsheet wasn't completely out-of-date, so the main things that needed to be updated were certain details due to people either not running for re-election, resigning, etc. As a result, the … Continue reading August 29, 2019 →

Today, I continued to learn more about the candidates running in our district. As you may know, early voting has already begun. This means everybody can vote if they wish at the Early Voting Center until the official voting day for the primaries on September 10 (early voting for the general election in November 2019 … Continue reading August 28, 2019 →

Today was a unique day because I was finally able to learn more about local candidates running for office in Toledo. Local Democratic candidates stop by the office frequently, especially if they are already in elected office (since they can't perform campaign operations within a government building). Today, LCDP-endorsed candidate for City Council, Sam Melden … Continue reading August 27, 2019 →
