Campaign Volunteers

Campaign Volunteers provide support to Robby as a candidate so he can spend his time attending all these great events, meeting voters, getting his name out in the district, generating media attention, and ensuring he’s best positioned to win in November.

Because these are volunteer roles, this gives us some flexibility

• Volunteers do not have to be over the age of 18
• Volunteers do not have to live in the district.
  • If you know a friend or colleague you think might be interested in volunteering for Robby, give us their name (after asking your friend of course)
• Even one hour per week of time can help. There are lots of little things that need to be done on an ongoing bases.

Yes, but only once a week

No thanks
