Join Team Kelly to knock doors across District 33 and talk with neighbors about cutting the grocery tax, capping drug costs, and defending our public schools. No experience needed. We’ll train you, pair you up, and set you up to win. Sign up for a shift and help us reach voters one door at a time.
What to Expect
When you arrive, we’ll greet you, get you checked in, and walk you through a quick training. No experience needed. We’ll cover the basics: what to say at the door, how to read your walk list, and how to log responses.
You’ll head out with a partner or in a small group, and you’ll have a packed list of doors in a specific neighborhood so you’re never wandering. Most conversations are short and friendly. You’re just introducing Kelly, sharing why you’re out there, and listening to what matters to folks.
We use MiniVAN, a simple app that maps your route and lets you log responses right on your phone. If you’d rather work from a paper packet, that’s no problem. Just let us know when you check in and we’ll have one ready.
Please bring:
Comfortable walking shoes A charged phone (if you’re using MiniVAN) A water bottle
We’ll provide literature, the walk list, training, and a friendly team. Shifts usually run two to three hours, but you’re welcome to leave whenever you need to. Rain or extreme heat may shift plans, so keep an eye out for updates.
