Christina for Congress Phone Bank!
- September 10, 2026
- November 3, 2026
🗓️ Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
Join Team Christina for Congress for one of our recurring phone banks!
Thursday, September 24th in the first day people can vote! That day through Election Day, voters can go to their clerk’s office and request an absentee ballot, and absentees will start arriving in mailboxes shortly thereafter. Voters can fill out their ballot and turn it in on the spot. November 3rd is Election Day, but vast numbers will have already voted by then.
That means we need to be talking with people encouraging them to vote early and helping them to realize Christina is their candidate for Congress.
Before running for Congress, Christina spent 10 years as an SVU prosecutor. That job is about showing up for people in the middle of the worst thing that’s ever happened to them and making sure the system actually works for them. That’s exactly who we need fighting for us in Congress to lower costs and end corruption.
