This is the Foundation for Getting Our Democratic Candidates Elected

April 19, 2017

Now Is The Time

  • to walk your precinct and really get acquainted with your constituents.
  • to make sure that their phone numbers and email addresses are correct.
  • to make sure that everyone in the household eligible to vote is registered.
  • to answer any questions they may have.
  • to offer them yard signs and ask if they willing to help phone bank
  • to invite them to our meetings and our website for current news.
  • to make sure they know that they can meet candidates and elected officials at our meetings.
  • to make sure that those who are disabled know how to get absentee ballots.
  • to ask if they are willing to hold an event in their home for their neighbors at some point in the future?
  • to inquire of they interested in being a poll watcher or election judge. (remember that judges are paid.)

You can become a deputy voter registrar. We can help get people registered to vote. We can help you learn to use Votebuilder.  We can help you update Votebuilder information.

Let’s start with each precinct committeeperson getting a list of strong Dems and visiting each and every one.  If they don’t answer the door the first time, go back as many times as it takes to talk to them one-on-one.  Can it be done in one month?

Next month move on to Leaning Dems and do the same. Beyond that, Independents, No Data, etc. voters can be contacted.  Even Leaning Republicans if you feel brave enough.

This is the foundation for getting our Democratic candidates elected.

Why Chris is running

I am running because I love Illinois and believe it can once again be a place where we can raise our families and find opportunity, but our state is broken and it must be fixed.

I’ve seen the possibilities and potential of this State from so many vantage points. I cannot sit back and watch as State Government stands in the way of what’s possible.  It’s time to restore the American Dream to the people of Illinois.

Christina Castro to host Free Utility Bill Workshop with Citizens Utility Board

April 10, 2017

To help District 22 area citizens find ways to cut back on their utility bills, State Senator Cristina Castro (D-Elgin) will be hosting a workshop with the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) Thursday, April 20th from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Fox River Valley Public Library in East Dundee.

Interested attendees are encouraged to register by calling the district office at 847-214-8864.

“It can be very confusing and frustrating trying to understand all the different charges on an electric, gas or phone bill,” Castro said. “Fortunately, this free utility bill clinic can give residents cost-saving information in one convenient location.”

Consumers should bring a copy of their gas, electric and/or phone bill to go over with a CUB representative to learn how they may be able to save money.

What: Citizen’s Utility Board Utility Bill Workshop
Where: Fox River Valley Public Library, 555 Barrington Ave, E. Dundee 60118
When: Thursday, April 20th from 6 – 8 p.m.
