  • Candidate recruitment
  • Public candidate forums and debates
  • Parades and village festivals
  • Door-to-door canvassing
  • Phone-banking
  • Voter registration drives
  • Community service
  • Fundraisers (for ourselves or for candidates)
  • Issues-based forums or presentations
  • Letter-writing campaigns
  • Neighborhood candidate receptions
