Get Involved
We have an active group of volunteers, all dedicated to make a difference in our community, state, and nation. We’re active year-round representing Democrats in town activities, organizing fundraisers and other events, and communicating about local, state, and national issues through social media and newsletters. Help us with canvassing, writing letters to the editor, placing or hosting yard signs, writing postcards, phone and text banks, and helping out at events. It’s also great way to meet other Democrats in town. Please join us! Fill out the form on this page >> and we’ll be in touch with you right away!
Canvass for candidates
Meeting your neighbors at their door is the tried and true way to let people know about upcoming elections and to motivate people to come out to vote. If you’ve done it before, you know it’s actually fun — we go to Democratic households in most cases, and the people we meet at doors are almost always eager to talk, especially in municipal elections when the goverance of our town in on the line. You can sign up to canvass yourself, OR to drive a candidate or canvasser around Wilton. Fill out the form on this page and we’ll be in touch with you right away!
Write Letters to the Editor
Share your views on the candidates and issues that are important to you — your opinions matter! Every letter supporting your Democratic candidates makes a difference to your neighbors, and we encourage you to share your views. We can help write letters if you wish — contact Mike Aksman.
Host lawn signs
Hosting lawn signs for your candidates helps candidates achieve name recognition and reminds voters there is an important election coming up. In 2025, lawn signs will be available after Labor Day. Sign up here and we’ll do the rest. We have to prioritize well-traveled roads, but will distribute all the lawn sign we have! We’ll pick up and recycle signs the day after the election.

More Ways to Get Involved
Write postcards
Postcards written to your neighbors really helps motivate people to come out to vote. In previous cycles our postcard parties have been a big hit, but you can also pick up postcards to write at home: we supply postcards and a list of addresses and a script (your own words are often best!). Fill out the form on this page and we’ll be in touch with you right away!
Word of Mouth
Getting up to speed on the issues and our candidates’ positions and communicating with your friends and neighbors is extremely helpful. In today’s environment, sending out personalized emails to your friends supporting candidates is very effective.
