DPNM's Field Notes: Activism & Organizing

The day after the Mayoral election in Albuquerque, DPNM Chairman Javier Gonzales, issued a statement on the results of the election:

"While the loss is disappointing I think it's important to remember that the majority of Albuquerque voters believe that Democrats are right on the issues of reducing crime, creating jobs and managing our states largest city.

All of us must remember that from here to the November 2010 election our Democratic principles and values as well as our Democratic candidates will be under attack by the Republicans. They will bring out every trick in their same old play book that promotes fear and promises confusion. New Mexicans deserve better and they get better with Democrats. I need each of you to continue our fight for a better tomorrow and let your friends and neighbors know that Democrats are on their side when it comes to education, working families, the environment and civil liberties. The fight begins now!"

The Democratic Party of New Mexico is hosting a free campaign training which is tailored to inform local leaders such as Ward Chairs and local candidates for office effective techniques that they can employ to achieve successful results.

A complete schedule for the training can be found here. Major topic include training in canvassing, utilizing Vote Builder and recruiting volunteers to your campaign.

Information on the training can be found here. To RSVP, please call the DPNM headquarters at 505-830-3650 or e-mail Marisa at marisa@nmdemocrats.org

We hope that you will do your part to ensure that local, state and federal elections in 2010 return Democrats back to offices across the state!
