60 Votes Short of a Win
So close!
In 2018, a Democrat challenging a Republican incumbent in San Luis Obispo County lost by only 60 votes. That district was significantly more Republican than the one we're writing to now in support of Democrat Ellen Beraud. Your postcards could be the winning difference. It would mean a majority Democrat Board of Supervisors just in time for the drawing of new district maps in SLO County. We're also talking about an important vote coming up on a gravel mine permit that needs careful and close attention.
Why the rush?
It's true that the election isn't until March 3. But, this county enjoys such a strong vote by mail participation rate, if history is any indication, 40% of the vote will already be cast a few days after vote by mail begins. That's February 3. We need to get these fun, friendly reminders in the mail pronto so that every Democratic voter knows Ellen is the Democrat running. Before they mail their ballots!
If you can write and mail some, soon, text HELLO to (484) 275-2229
Or CLICK to ask Abby the Address Bot on Facebook Messenger

Because this list is not expected to last more than two days, only Abby the Address Bot has the addresses. You may text her or send her a Facebook Messenger "HELLO" to get addresses for our 192nd campaign in support of Ellen Beraud in California.
If you do not text and also do not use Facebook, you can email us for addresses of Democratic voters in Lee County, Florida for our ongoing Florida Vote By Mail enrollment campaign. The Democratic Executive Committee of Lee County specifically asked for their county to be next. They have an army of volunteers ready to phonebank and go door to door. But, they'd like to see how many Democratic voters enroll after receiving our cards before they spend their limited resources calling and knocking to reach tens of thousands of voters over many months.
Writing for Lee County VBM will free them up to concentrate on the voters who don't enroll in response to a handwritten postcard. And, a personal follow-up to one of our cards actually makes it easier for the volunteer to open with a warm, "Hi! Remember the postcard you received letting you know about Vote By Mail?"
If you can ask Abby for addresses, request some for Ellen Beraud in CA. If you are only able to email us, ask for Lee County FL VBM addresses. Thank you and...
