Who knew that getting involved in the Obama 2012 Campaign would have such an impact on my life! And it all started with a bad day at work. I came home and saw a post on facebook about joining the campaign for a neighborhood canvass the next day and signed up for my first shift. Saturday morning I had a quick 30-minute training and hit the streets to update my neighbors voter registration. I was hooked! Next thing I know I'm a team captain on the West Wash Park team; recruiting volunteers, managing phone banks and directing neighborhood canvasses. As our team continued to grow and have success we divided and I became the Neighborhood Team Leader for the South Speer team. Thankfully the South Speer team blossomed with a great core of volunteers. All of my spare time from May-November went towards the campaign. Every moment of it was fantastic, I met some amazing people, and had some memorable experiences!
On election night I joined my fellow volunteers as we watched the results roll in. Seeing Colorado go blue was such a joyous moment! All our hard work had paid of, it was time to celebrate.
