I will make that a greater focus. One of our biggest problems is not in raising money but rather in how we're spending what money we have. I'll start by breaking down the budget to find the money we need to staff multiple field coordinator positions in key areas around the state. I will put my money where my mouth is by cutting the salary of the state chair position and use the savings to fund full-time field coordinators. These field coordinators will work with county party officials, activists and allies to develop outreach strategies to find, educate and engage new and sporadic voters on a year round basis." <br /><br /> Amen to that Jeff Smith!CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833070877059285634noreply@blogger.com
