Are you considering running for office or working on a Democratic campaign? If so, you’re invited to join a candidate training series of workshops organized by the San Diego County Democratic Party, held the first three Mondays in August.

Go to www.sddemocrats.org/training to sign up for one, two, or all three of the sessions, each of which will focus on a specific aspect of campaigning. Please note that these are only open to registered Democrats.

All off the trainings will run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. (location provided upon registration). A $25 fee per session is requested, which will include food and beverages.

The series will cover:

• Monday, August 3: Campaign Organization and Management
• Monday, August 10: Fundraising and Budgeting
• Monday, August 17: Communications and Messaging

The tools provided in these workshops will help participants run well-organized campaigns and avoid some of the common pitfalls encountered by new candidates. Sign up now or call or email us at the office if you have any questions about the trainings, or if you would like to pay with a campaign or business credit card.
