Interested in being involved with the Potrero Hill Dem Club this year? Want to help Dems win in 2020? Join us next Tuesday to help plan how we educate and turn out Potrero Hill voters and more for this momentous election. We’ll also be voting on Executive Committee roles and looking for volunteers who would like to be involved with other committees, such as member engagement and voter contact. We also continue to seek candidates to run for Executive Committee positions including Vice President, Membership and Secretary. Without candidates for Executive Committee positions and volunteers for committees, the Club will not be able to continue its programming. The PHDC will do crucial work engaging Potrero Hill residents in the 2020 elections, which will be about much more than just the choice of a new president. Please join us and help Potrero Hill be part of a blue 2020! Please RSVP here and fill out our short survey to help us plan the meeting.
