Campaigns are always in need of volunteer help. We as PTA's can something as simple as posting signs on their yards or in windows, stuffing envelopes, making phone calls, and writing letters are other possibilities. The time you give to a campaign can be as much or as little as you want. Any effort could make a difference in getting the candidate elected. Because of the high cost of advertising today, fundraising is a necessity for all campaigns.
Local candidates are thankful for every contribution, no matter how small.
Legislators are called onto make a wide variety of decisions on complex issues. We as PTA's, as health care educators, can help candidates better understand the profession of physical therapy. Elected officials and candidates are usually accessible to their constituents. They want to know as many constituents as possible. They are anxious to serve - that's why they are running for public office.
