College Dems: Help out on a NYC citywide campaign this summer!

Dear Democrats:

The campaign season this year is heating up, and Democrats in New York need your help. If you're registered to vote in New York City, here's your chance to get involved in competitive races, build up your resume with on-the-ground experience on some of the largest elections in the country this year, and help Democrats get on the ballot in local elections. We are looking for campaign workers who would enjoy being a part of something fun and exciting, and at the same time bring commitment, dedication, and eagerness to political campaigns.
 
As you may already know, this time of the campaign cycle is crucial for candidates in citywide elections. In order to get on the ballot, a candidate must first collect a specific number of petition signatures by a given deadline. We need your help getting signatures. The first two weeks of petitioning are extremely important, and starting Tuesday, June 9th, candidates for every office in the city will begin collecting these signatures.
 
One candidates in particular is looking towards College Democrats in order to help collect petitions: Melinda Katz
 
The Melinda Katz for Comptroller campaign is offering concerned citizens and voters a wonderful opportunity to join and contribute to an elite team of highly talented individuals who are working together to help the candidate become New York City Comptroller.  As Land Use Chair in the New York City Council, Melinda funded 90,000 units of affordable housing, protected more than 7,500 New York City blocks in historic neighborhoods from development, built new schools in all five boroughs of New York City and created tens of thousands of jobs.

Now Melinda is running for New York City Comptroller, where she will use the resources of that office to guarantee Federal stimulus dollars free up credit and create jobs, as opposed to fattening the bonuses of Wall Street executives. For local companies that are profitable but struggling under unsustainable debt racked up in periods of easy credit, she will tap pension funds as a source of capital while restructure their balance sheets in order to return them to viability.

If you want to volunteer or intern on this exciting campaign, please contact the campaign by emailing Josh at jlopez@melindakatzforny.com . Also, if you know anyone who may also be willing to help, please do not hesitate to invite them to be a part of the campaign and give them Josh's contact information.
