Political Canvassing
One of my gig jobs at the moment is helping with a primary race for a state legislative seat. The candidate needs a handful more walkers to do door-to-door canvassing. I canvass myself and enjoy talking to all sorts of folks and getting paid for burning calories. I wouldn't post it here if it was a scam, a crappy candidate, or other nonsense. If anyone is looking for some temp gig work, this could be great.
It's all over the central west side of town. You use a free app on your phone to receive lists of registered Republicans in a certain precinct, knock those doors, gauge support for the candidate, and leave literature.
You need to be good with people and comfortable advocating for conservative principles. You don't have to have all the answers though, just build bridges for the candidate to contact the voter if desired. As you can imagine, there's a fair amount of walking, and it can be hilly. And warm. You'll be given a couple campaign t-shirts and a hat (they're white, thank goodness). You need to have your own transportation and smartphone. I'm cheap on data and this app doesn't make a big dent in my usage.
20-30 hours easy through the primary, June 14. Possibly a longer-term arrangement depending on the primary results. 10 am to 7 pm is the allowable range. Morning walking is ok, afternoons are ideal, and at least one weekend day of your choosing would really help too.
Pay is $14/hr.
Your next step is to contact the candidate's campaign manager, Matt Kahn. (Email mak at j3strategies dot com | Call eight one eight, four hundred, seventeen twenty six). He'll see if it's a fit, tell you about the candidate, and move you forward in the process.
