To ensure the election of qualified candidates to an office requires major involvement in time and money from those who support our democratic system of government. One of the most effective ways of participation in our election process is to volunteer at headquarters in your community. Many headquarters are year-round and need assistance even in an off-election year. Republican Headquarters should be listed in your local telephone directory or you may look on the California Republican Party website. Call the one nearest you and say "I am here to help. What can I do?" |
