If you or someone you know is considering being a candidate in any of the 2022 elections for City Office, please contact us to schedule a training. The trainings are completely confidential. They give potential candidates the information they need to consider whether small-donor matching would work for them. Our office’s contact information is in the upper right hand side of this page.
