Election November 2022
CANDIDATE OUTREACH
Dear Candidate:
To help Oakland voters, we will be making three requests of your campaign (see below). Your participation in these activities will help thousands of Oakland voters learn more about you. We do not charge you money for your participation — we carry out these activities to fulfill our nonprofit mission of supporting democracy.
Sincerely,
League of Women Voters of Oakland
