OUR CAMPAIGN PLAN FOR 2023
The Lakewood Democratic Club membership voted at its August 31, 2023 meeting endorsing a YES ON ISSUE 1 vote for the November 7, 2023 special election. (Click here to read the text of the ballot measure.) The Club will help coordinate a local mailer containing info about Issue 1 and a vote by mail application which will reach over 11,000 Lakewood households in early October. We plan to write postcards to over 2,100 apartments who cannot be reached by door-to-door canvassing. We will distribute over 500 yard signs. We plan to canvass door-to-door to reach over 6,500 households with a literature drop. Finally, our sample ballot mailer will be sent to over 10,000 households in Lakewood, including as a follow-up to ballot chase for absentee/vote-by-mail requests.
