Every time there are a large number of candidates for a position in the primary, people get overwhelmed. I remember one person said they would vote for my candidate as I was the only person that knocked on their door.

We need to keep pressing. We need to vet candidates better so there aren’t any “October surprises”. We had several candidates for Lt. governor, and I had so many friends calling me who to vote for. Nobody wants to take the time to research them. I go to meet and greets, read their campaign page.

Yep. I had a hard time getting people to vote in primaries. One neighbor I reminded 4 times. I knocked doors. When someone complained about a candidate I asked them if they voted in the primary. I said that’s why it’s so important to vote in the primary.

Yeah no one running is a big problem here too in small races. I ended up knocking doors for a school board candidate in a nearby county to beat a moms for liberty incumbent. He won by like 74 votes.. I’m only going to volunteer for those small candidates in future.

I won’t volunteer for Kaine next go around if he runs. I spent hours getting signatures for him to get on the ballot, and also handing out his lit.

It’s still important to vote at least for local positions- board of supervisors, school boards, soil and water etc.
