Volunteer for David Alvarez for Mayor!
Mail ballots in San Diego's special mayoral election are going out this week, so volunteers are needed now to get out the word for our endorsed candidate, David Alvarez!
David is a longtime supporter of neighborhoods and working families. He has never been afraid to fight for our communities, even when that means taking a stand against the establishment. You can check out his blueprint for getting San Diego back on track here.
We can make the difference needed to get David into the runoff and elected as Mayor. Please join other Club members and Democrats throughout the county in volunteering for his campaign. There are several ways to get involved:
