Indivisible Tacoma members know local elections matter. Here’s what we did:
Encouraged people to run for office.
Evaluated candidates for endorsement.
Produced a forum to present them to membership.
Knocked on hundreds of doors
Put up signs, attended fundraisers, phone-banked, told our friends, text-banked, and waved signs to bring attention and increase turnout.
All the volunteers contributed to building a stronger community in Pierce County!
Congratulations to our candidates who won. The losses are disappointing, but we are hugely grateful to the candidates who stepped forward to run.
