It's candidate petition season!
Candidates need signatures in November 2019 to get on the 2020 ballot. This includes Mark Haasis, who's running against Darin LaHood for the 18th Congressional District, and some presidential candidates. Whether you want to sign petitions, circulate among friends and family, or walk petitions, we can get you anything you need:
- Contact us and we can meet you with petition sheets. And if you want to walk but don't know who's a Democrat, we have a list of likely Democrat-friendly voters.
- Come to our meeting on Tuesday, November 12, 2019, 6:30pm meal orders/mingle, 7pm business, Germantown Grille, 505 Ten Mile Creek Rd., Germantown Hills: No Democratic "membership" required. We'll also have candidates' petitions available to sign or circulate, and a notary on hand for people who already have petitions filled in. No "membership" needed: Meet new Democratic-minded people and watch democracy work.
We have these petitions as of Halloween (along with approximate due dates):
- Statewide: Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren for president (all of November); Dick Durbin for U.S. Senate (due first week of November)
- 18th Congressional District: Mark Haasis for U.S. House (due in around our November 12 meeting); Bernie Sanders delegates to the Democratic National Convention (all of November)
- Looking for candidates: If you want to be a Woodford County Board candidate (only 10 signatures needed), or you are with a presidential campaign not listed above, you should be contacting us immediately; we have people signing petitions right now.
- Out-of-county petitions: If you have friends or family in McLean, Peoria, or Tazewell counties, we have petitions and contacts for you too. County candidates need their sheets in by Thanksgiving.
Also contact us if you'd like to be notified when we get new candidates or presidental delegate petitions in.
