Mike for Renton GOTV Canvass
2025-07-23 17:30 - 20:00 | Renton Liberty Park, 1101 Bronson Way N, Renton, WA, 98057, United States
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 July 16th for the August 5th primary. In the run-up to the primary, we’ve been running hot with these achievements:

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!
Reaching the milestone of 10,000 doors knocked – about 25% of all households in Renton!
Getting over 55 volunteers and over 10 shift leads involved to host over 20 canvasses and tabling days and other events such as a fundraising party and a Community BBQ!

But the fight is just getting started – Mike’s opponent, James Alberson Jr., a former president of the Renton Chamber of Commerce and the incumbent, responded by raising over $20,000, with donors including big businesses such as Amazon, WA Association of Realtors, and Fortune Casino.
The stakes are high – a strong showing in the primary is key for showing voters that Mike is a serious challenger against an Amazon-backed incumbent! To get that result, Mike and Seattle DSA need your help to Get Out The Vote. Come canvass for Mike and tell voters to fill out their ballot for our democratic socialist candidate!
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.

Mike for Renton Phonebank + Campaign Ops Meeting
2025-08-28 18:00 - 19:30, 2025-09-04 18:00 - 19:30
The general election is on!!! Mike is through the primary but is behind the Amazon-backed incumbent – however we earned nearly 5,000 votes for our openly democratic socialist candidate, almost 4x more than the number of votes for Mike in 2023! To close the gap and win, we’re hitting the phones to reach more supporters!
The stakes are high – without your help Mike and Seattle DSA cannot win this election! Phonebanking is the ideal way to help Mike if you can’t make it down to Renton to canvass, and the more callers we have, the faster we can go through our lists. RSVP for the Zoom link and to add the phonebank to your calendar. First time and returning volunteers are welcome. We will provide training before the phonebank. Held weekly on Thursdays at 6pm in conjunction with our weekly Campaign Operations meeting to plan the Westgaard campaign.
RSVP HERE!
Please review the Mike for Renton Volunteer Standards & Policies.
