Campaign Work And Voter Outreach: A Case Study

Decent Essays
I love to do campaign work and voter outreach. I have been involved with the Florida Democratic Party for over a year and a half and it never gets old with me. I always love to hear the stories people have about their lives and how certain policies have helped them. So far, I have worked on three campaigns, and would like to join my fourth one in the finance department. Additionally, I am the youngest cousin out of the five of us. The second youngest cousin is 4 years older than me and she is about to graduate college at the end of this school
