Well worth it (4.00 / 2)

I attended one of these DFA Training Academies last March. It was worth every penny. If you don't sign up today, you're making a huge mistake!

Are you a candidate? (0.00 / 0)

One of the most interesting things we've ever done in a DFA Training was convene candidates, some mentors and allies into a room for a little while in a session just for them.

We're thinking about doing that again, so we put out a call to those already signed up to let us know if they're running. I'm surprised how many are.

With field planning, targeting, fundraising, voter contact, event planning, message development, working with media, voter file, GOTV, issues organizing, canvassing, call time, and precinct organizing (whew) covered (partial list) you can see how this fully-packed but deeply fun weekend can sharpen your skills if you're running, or help you organize behind a candidate you care about.

Can't wait.

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.
