To all of my dedicated supporters, I have a request for help if you can offer it. I will need a great deal of volunteer help on election day. There is no electioneering within 100 feet of the polling site (the Lafayette Methodist Church at 900 Moraga). Voting is from 7a to 8p. I will be buying a 100 foot piece of twine and scoping out where we can campaign. Throughout the day, assistance would be great, making and holding up pro-Froymovich signs, talking to folks, possibly fliering and, if we can find spots, parking cars with posters on them in visible areas. Additionally, I will need a volunteer to observe the ballot counting. This will be done in Martinez starting at 3p. The counting should go until 12p according to County estimates, but I will be able to relieve the observer around 8:30p.
But, if you are looking for something to do now we can use the help.
First, think if there is any neighbor, friend, acquaintance or long lost relative in Lafayette who you have not told about the campaign yet and go for it. Ask them to pass on the message, too.
Second, if you can pass out fliers, let me know. I’ll drop some off, whether you need 4 or 400.
Third, if you are itching to get even more involved, there is plenty that can be done, like phone banking for even as little as 10 minutes.
There are no polls to track this race and the fact that people can vote for between 0 and 3 of the 4 candidates means we do not even know how many votes we need to win. All I can say is that, in uncontested elections, each candidate usually gets around 5,000 votes and, with massive turnout this year, we could need as many as 10,000 (or more) votes this year to be in the top 3 of 4. We still have time and the word is out and getting around. We just might make history in Lafayette this year. If we do, we can expect the Lafayette City Council to be much more responsive from now on; re-election will no longer be taken for granted.
