Mike Panetta was recently elected to the position of U.S. Representative in the November 7th election in the District of Columbia, DC. The position is often referred to as the "Shadow Representative" and should not be confused with the office of Delegate to Congress, which is currently held by Eleanor Holmes Norton.
Mike has run several high-profile campaigns for DC representation including starting an Olympic team for the District and leading efforts to rebrand RFK Stadium as "Taxation Without Representation Field" Mike pledges to make the DC voting rights issue a national one that is embraced by progressive activists across the country.
I can use some volunteers over the next three weeks to get signatures for my ballot petition. I need to collect 2,000 from registered DC Democrats to get on the September primary ballot. If you can spare a few hours, please give me an email at mike.panetta(at)gmail.com. It’s actually a fun thing to do…and you get to talk with lots of people about politics.
Thanks in advance for any help!
