Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford and Jill Underly, and Thanks to Our Volunteers!

Thanks to all our volunteers who helped elect Judge Susan Crawford and Jill Underly in the April 1 election!

They made phone calls, knocked doors, wrote postcards, sent opinion letters to the papers, and placed yard and highway signs. Volunteers knocked 1328 doors in support of the Crawford campaign and had 660 conversations.  Hundreds of yard signs went out our office doors and the road sign team placed over thirty highway signs.  That was only a fraction of the highway signs we place for presidential campaigns, yet enough to show our presence and campaign participation. 

Those volunteer hours paid off. The county went 40% for Crawford (vs 35% for Harris a few months earlier).  Cumberland reported 52%, Rice Lake 50% and the city of Barron 49%. 

We didn’t win Barron County for Judge Crawford but we surely moved it in the “left” direction. We have a lot to be proud of. And this is just the beginning. 

  

You can still help with Tuesday's Election! Sign up to make phone calls. Log on to www.wisdems.org/volunteer to join a phone banking team. You will be given training, scripts and phone numbers of progressive voters.  Knock on friendly doors. We will be canvassing March 29-31. Call Gerry at 715-205-5362 for information. We will provide you with training, scripts, and a partner if you wish. Display a Crawford sign in your yard. Click on this link and a sign will be delivered to you. https://forms.gle/FiczRLKxGXH4rJKQ8  Of course we have plenty of yard signs at our office! Talk to your friends & family. Explain the importance of this election. Ask them to talk to their friends and families to spread the word. Become a monthly donor. Your support of the Barron County Democrats helps us elect candidates and keep our strong presence in Barron County.
