We are currently seeking Voter Contact staff to mobilize voters to the polls to help Democrats win in the 2022 midterm election and hold their majority in both the state Senate and House. Increasing voter turnout is one of the keys to winning in November, and we must win if Democrats are going to be able to address systemic issues impacting the most vulnerable communities in our country.
