On Saturday, August 2, at 10:00am, Progressive Salem will host a
program at the Democratic Headquarters, 245 High St NE. This
program is entitled, “How we win an Election,” and will feature Tina
Calos and Kirk Leonard. The program is designed to introduce new
members and prospective members to Progressive Salem’s mission
by describing the recent Mai Vang campaign and how the group
succeeded in supporting her election to Ward 6 City Councilor
position.

Tina Calos will present some regional demographic and political
information to establish the progressive potential of Salem’s
registered voters. Kirk Leonard will present the process Progressive
Salem followed to elect Mai Vang, from finding her, to developing a
campaign team, developing a strategy to win, executing on the plan
including creating printed and digital materials and efforts to get out
the vote.

Our program is for all comers, but we hope new members to
Progressive Salem will plan to come to learn more about its vision for
our group. And of course, we always welcome others who are
prospective members and are interested in learning more about our
group and its mission. Please put this date on your calendar. We hope
this wil inspire you to get involved with our upcoming campaigns in a
way that suits your interests.
