Now the work begins. We need to turn the dial to 11 on turnout for the general election, and we will need your help to make that happen. Please join our Volunteer Team as we will need everyone, no matter your talents/interests/comfort level in order to talk to voters and get folks to the polls. We can write postcards, organize sign wavings, knock doors (don’t worry, it’s not as intimidating as you think), make phone calls, put signs in your yard or a sticker on your car, and so much more! Whatever level of involvment you are interested in, we will have a role for you! Please sign up today! Also, please consider becoming a donor to the Calvert Democrats or one of our candidates directly! Each of their contact information can be found on our Meet The Candidates Page. Even just $10 can make a difference in a local race. Your impact with your money and time is felt exponentially more in a local political race, which is why community participation is so critical as we gear up for November.
There are so many issues that we are facing in Calvert County, while the legitimate concerns regarding data centers have led the discussion in the primary, we can’t lose sight on everything else that also affects our daily lives. Our schools, government services, infrastructure, the environment, cost of living, development, small businesses and more are all under the purview of our county commissioners and local leaders. We cannot allow insurrectionist candidates to take office who would not keep the best interests of the county in mind, but would rather burn it all down to fuel a culture war. This is our home, we love it, and we want it to be a safe and welcoming place for us ALL to not just live, but to thrive. Please join us in the fight for Calvert County, because it starts now.
