Mike for Renton GOTV Canvass

RVSP HERE

Ballots are out!!! The Seattle DSA-endorsed Mike Westgaard for Renton City Council campaign is getting ready to Get Out The Vote when ballots drop on October 15th for the November 4th general election. During our grass-roots, volunteer-powered campaign, we’ve accomplished:

• Getting over 75 volunteers and over 10 shift leads involved to host over 40 canvasses and tabling days and other events such as a fundraising party and a Community BBQ!
• Securing critical endorsements from MLK Labor Council, IAM 751 (Boeing Machinists), SEIU 925, King County Dems, 5th LD Dems, Transit Riders Union, Tech4Housing, WA Senator Bob Hasegawa, WA Rep. Shaun Scott, and Renton Councilmember Carmen Rivera!
• Earning nearly 5,000 votes in the primary for our openly democratic socialist candidate, almost 4x more than the number of votes for Mike in 2023!

The stakes are high – in the primary Mike was behind James Alberson Jr., the Amazon-backed and GOP-recommended incumbent! To close the gap and win, we need to reach more voters with Mike’s message of democratic socialism and economic justice. Without your help Mike and Seattle DSA cannot win this election!

Come show our support for the campaign, build up the energy needed for the rest of the GOTV period, and tell voters to fill out their ballots for Mike! RSVP to add the canvass to your calendar and help us get a headcount.

First time and returning canvassers are welcome. We will provide training before the canvass. We will also organize carpools, please note your carpool needs in the Action Network RSVP form. Social to follow. Please check the weather forecast and dress appropriately.
