Our Adopt-A-Candidate campaign for 2024 has launched!
If you’re new to r/VoteDem, this campaign allows you to chose one - or more - candidates you commit to volunteer for throughout the year.
It’s by no-means exhaustive - we will be continually adding more candidates to this list over the next few months. And if you want to adopt a candidate who isn’t on the list, just let us know.
Want to adopt a candidate? Tell us in this thread or send us a modmail!
