<h2>Do you want to help us change Johnson County and the Kansas Legislature?</h2><h3>Help us elect more Democrats.</h3>Our Data Analysis consistently shows us that knocking on doors of DEMOCRATIC&nbsp;Voters (CANVASSING) is the best tool that we have to increase voter turnout.As a party, we provide Canvass Training and pair up new Canvassers with experienced Canvassers.While this is our biggest need, we do have some non-Canvassing duties available to new volunteers as well.Some of those include Canvass Facilitating tasks like being a Canvassing Buddy (driving or walking with a Canvasser), Literature Preparation (counting out and bundling county party and candidate information), working in the office and other miscellaneous non-Canvassing duties like phone-banking and letter writing.

Dozens of local organizations and leaders are standing together!
