I live in one of the bluest zip codes in the country. I would like to participate in GOTV activities in a swing district where voter turnout could make a difference in helping the Democrat carry a state, where a competitive senate seat is on the line, and for the trifecta, where I can help elect or protect a dem congressional seat in a close race.
If you have a level driveway, parking lot, or field with access to water and household power, I would like to explore the possibility of being your guest for the four weeks prior to the November election. My camper is 22 ft. long. In exchange, I will work in your district to get out the democratic vote. Bicycle friendly would be a plus.
Arizona sounds like a good candidate state so far, but I would be interested in hearing from anyone who lives in a competitive congressional district that is "in play" for presidential electoral votes. Send me a private message that tells me where you live, who your candidates are, and anything you know about local election and registration deadlinnes. I will be working with the local Democtatic Party. I am a precinct committeeman in my home state.
Let's take them all out in November!

I might suggest that wherever you decide to be active, ask around at the campaign office. There are always people who provide rooms for out of state staff. They may let you park your RV. These tend, from my experience, tend to be fairly well off individual.
Funny story. One of the out of state political pro youngsters was staying with an older lady at her house. Near the end of the campaign several Teamsters from Philly (somewhere up north) were coming down to Richmond and needed somewhere to stay. As you may know, at the end of a campaign everyone is all in. The lady was going to say okay. The young lady was like HELL NO. I'm not sharing a bathroom with 4 or 5 men!
