Bonneville County Democratic Central Committee has several openings for PRECINCT CAPTAIN What do they do?  The Precinct Captains are the backbone of our party.  They constitute the Board of Directors for the local Democratic Party here in Bonneville County.  If you want a voice in the next election, this post will provide it.  Precinct Captains elect the Central Committee officers and the Legislative District Chairs that lead our efforts, plus they are the ones that have a vote in deciding our planning, strategies, and activities locally.  As a Precinct Captain your main job would be to greet your neighbors and update our records of eligible voters in your neighborhood, and collect some ‘straw poll’ information from time to time.  This will involve some door-to-door canvassing and some telephone time.  You will learn who lives at each address, are they registered to vote, what their ‘take’ is on certain issues.  You will invite those interested to become more involved in Party activities. The Precinct Captain’s job DOES NOT require campaigning for any candidate, issue, or cause. Many do, but that is a separate issue from being a Precinct Captain. Who can be a Precinct Captain? Precinct Captains must be a registered voter in the precinct they represent. How can I become a Precinct Captain? Precinct Captains are either elected within their precinct during a general election, or they can be appointed during the interim. Either way you start out by volunteering? I don’t know what to do. Bonneville County Central Committee will be hosting Precinct training classes where we will show you how to do a great job. All you need is a few hours a month, and your naturally friendly personality. The Precinct Captain is the person we rely upon to identify those who support key issues and topics, those in opposition, and those who haven’t yet made up their minds. This information is entered into our records to inform our candidates so they can effectively plan their strategies and campaigns, and to be more efficient in contacting those who might be interested in supporting their positions.   Isn’t it about time you stepped up to the plate and took an active part in shaping our community?   For more information contact: Steve Zeman 523-8742, Dennis Sutton 528-6209, Jacalyn Stephens 552-3237 or info@bonnevilledemocrats.org     Fair use notice of copyrighted material: This site may contain some copyrighted material that in some cases has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
