How You Can Help:
Members!  Get your paddles ready and raise them high when a volunteer opportunity catches your eye!  I appreciate any and all help you are willing to give!  These are in order of largest to smallest commitment.  One thing to keep in mind:  For many of these, you'll be able to hangout with and pet POTUS! 

My cell is 812-219-4074, and my email is [email protected]. Get in touch and I'll help you get started!  

1.  Neighborhood coordinators.  I am looking for folks who live in a neighborhood (or area) in D1 and can help coordinate and facilitate me meeting your neighbors/friends/family and getting out yard signs.  This can be you knocking on doors of your neighbors with me, simply you telling neighbors you support me and that I'll be knocking on their door soon.  In a nutshell, neighbors talking to neighbors is a great way to introduce me as a candidate and foster good conversations and connections. 

2.  Letters to the Editor.  If you're up for writing a letter to talk about why you support me, why I'd be good for Bloomington/good on council, and what I'll bring to council.  I can get you talking points. 
 
3. Canvass.  We have big goals for door knocking the district.  My team can train you and get a packet to you whenever you can go out.  We go out weekday evenings (5-8p) and weekends (11-5).  

4. Farmers Market.  Volunteers needed to hangout near the Dems booth and talk to voters.  This is tough, since we never know if a market goer lives in the district!  But finding voters here is a good place for me.  

5. Postcards to D1 Friends. If you have friends in D1, let them know you support me and ask for their vote!  We can get you the postcards and stamps!

6. Find 2 New Kate Voters.  No matter where you live, can you find 2 voters in D1 who will support me?  Let me know their names (because I track voters), and I'll add them to my supporters list.  

7. Facebook. Like, comment on, and share my posts.  It helps more people see them. Invite your friends to like Kate for Bloomington. 

8. Join My Email List.  Get on my email list (we don't send many emails), and forward our emails to your friends to help build momentum and spread the word.  Email James Bassett to get on the list [email protected].

9. Dogs of District 1.  Know any big sweeties who live in District 1? I'd love to feature them on my Facebook! Send any photos with a bit about the dog my way. I'm using dogs to talk about issues important to voters.  

10. Meet and Greet! Invite anyone to meet me on Friday, April 12 from 5:30-7:00 at Gracia Valliant's home, 926 W. 4th

Isabel Piedmont-Smith - City Council, District 5

Website: Isabel Piedmont-Smith - Candidate For Bloomington City Council 
Facebook: Piedmont-Smith for City Council

How You Can Help:
Isabel needs volunteers to:
• help with door-to-door canvassing
• write Letters to the Editor in support of her campaign

Canvassing seems intimidating at first, but you would go out WITH Isabel, and she would do most of the talking. Your job would just be to carry the walk lists and take notes.
As to Letters to the Editor, this great method of free advertising is a way to focus public attention on the many reasons to re-elect Isabel to the city council.
If you can help with either effort, please contact volunteer coordinator Linda Grove-Paul at [email protected]. Thank you!
