‘How We Win’ Democratic Summit

Saturday, November 4 | 8am - 4pm | Cambridge, MD

Rome was not built in a day - it will take time to organize in each county and set ourselves up for electoral successes at the local, state, and federal levels. But to effectively commit the time, resources, and people necessary to bring about these necessary changes, we need to teach the science behind political campaigns. We need to teach…

This is a conference designed by organizers for organizers. It’s for the people who want to build a coalition or organization, run for office, or help elect a friend or colleague. If your mission is to recruit, train, organize, and elect Democrats, this summit will teach you how. Our goal is to give you the tools necessary to go back to your county - with connections to partners and skills for action - and be the change you want to see in your community. You will not ‘flip’ your county in one year or a single election cycle, but this conference will help us collaboratively identify achievable goals and map out the steps to accomplish them.

Our classes will include:

  • Candidate Recruitment

  • Roles & Responsibilities of Democratic Party Organizations and Democratic Clubs

  • MD VAN Training

  • Winning Elections In the Field

  • Learning Local Issues

  • Volunteer Recruitment & Management 101

  • Understanding the Rural/Urban Divide

Saturday will start bright and early with a networking breakfast that leads into a full day of workshops and breakout sessions. We are particularly proud to announce David Zuckerman, Lieutenant Governor of Vermont, as our featured keynote speaker for the conference! Mr. Zuckerman is a farmer, father, and proud Vermonter. He has served as a state representative, state senator, and is the incumbent Lieutenant Governor of Vermont. He will speak to attendees on the topic of messaging to Rural America.
