Estimated Time Commitment:
Endorsement and Campaign Strategies Committees: During Elections years (2020 and every other year) these committees are busier 8-10 weeks prior to the Primary and General Elections. Meetings may be every other week with email communications in between. Candidate interviews prior to the Primary are assigned and reviewed. During Non-Election years, general planning may occur but activities are much fewer.
Communication/Education and Fundraising Committees: These committees will likely meet monthly during Election and Non Election years. Activities will be busier during Primary and General Elections but work continues during non-election years. The pace is more steady year to year.
