Del Mar GO Team Recruiting Volunteers to Help with 2024 Elections
With the March 5th Primary and November 5th General Elections looming on the horizon, the Del Mar GO Team is still seeking volunteers to help with their Get Out the Vote canvassing efforts.
GO Teams are organized by the San Diego County Democratic Party and provide grassroots support on behalf of all Democrats running for office. Volunteers for the GO Teams undergo an initial 90-minute orientation/training program before hitting the streets and phones. The volunteer workers are busy during the four weeks leading up to each election contacting registered Democratic voters and Democrat-leaning independents. Their main objectives are to help these voters with any registration or ballot issues; provide information on the endorsed candidates and recommended ballot measures; and assist voters in returning their mail-in ballots.
GO Teams are led by volunteer Community Coordinators who work alongside the volunteers, organize their canvassing assignments, and provide information and supplies as needed. Volunteers generally canvass within their own neighborhoods. Many volunteers choose to return for each election cycle. The Del Mar GO Team covers the area within the 92014 Zip Code address.
If you are interested in learning more about the GO Teams, or would like to volunteer, in Del Mar contact Wayne Dernetz, Community Coordinator for the Del Mar Team (92014 Zip Code), at wayne.dmgo@gmail.com.
Dear Club Members and Friends,
Please join us this month for our Club meeting on Thursday, January 25th at 6:00pm (via Zoom). This month’s program will feature three special guests who will present important information and lead engaging discussions.
Jodi Cleesattle, candidate for San Diego County Superior Court Judge, Seat 41, will address the club and answer questions.
Mandy Butler from the League of Women Voters will present information on the pros and cons of Proposition 1 “Treatment Not Tents” on the March 2024 California ballot. While most of the March ballot is straightforward for Democratic voters, Proposition 1 is complex and deserves careful consideration, addressing issues that were ranked as important priorities in our recent Club member survey. It has been championed by Governor Gavin Newsom and endorsed by the San Diego County Democratic Party. If you would like to learn more about this Proposition in advance of our meeting, you can view a summary here:

In addition, addressing Education-related issues (another priority highlighted in our member survey) will be Jane Lea Smith, Vice President of the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees, who will provide updates on SDUHSD activities.
