Together, working as a team, we can elect Democratic candidates in every election or you can make a difference in Wilton by volunteering for Wilton’s boards and committees. Here’s how you can get involved:
Join the campaign team
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. During election cycles we’re usually involved in literature drop, canvassing, running a headquarters and community events. While COVID is still with us we will run some meetings on Zoom, or gather as safely as possible. Help us with phone banks, writing postcards, hosting online events or events in your home, and distributing or hosting yard signs. It’s also great way to meet with 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 turns out to be the very best 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 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!
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 Jane Rinard.
Host an event for a candidate
Is there a candidate you particularly wish to support? Consider hosting a small event (online or at your home) with your friends and neighbors. We can help set it up! It’s a great way for you and your neighbors and friends to get to know a candidate and an opportunity to convey your views to candidates and hear about their vision for Wilton in more detail — contact Jane Rinard.
