How You Can Help | Gregory Burgess for Congress

Why Your Help Matters

Our campaign has a very small budget. We can only spend $5,000 total. Big campaigns spend millions of dollars on TV ads and mailers.

But we have something better: YOU!

When you talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about our campaign, it works better than any TV ad. People trust people they know. That's why volunteers are the most important part of our team.

Below are the ways you can help. We listed them from most helpful to still helpful. Pick the ones that fit your life!

⭐ #1 MOST IMPORTANT

💬 Talk to People You Know

This is the single best thing you can do. Tell your friends, family, and coworkers about Gregory Burgess.

You don't need to be an expert. Just share why you care. Something simple like:

"Hey, have you heard of Greg Burgess? He's running for Congress and actually wrote real bills you can read. Check out vote-roar.com!"

Why it helps so much: People trust their friends more than any ad or flyer. When YOU recommend something, people listen. One conversation can change a vote.
⏱️ Time: A few minutes here and there

#2

📱 Share on Social Media

Post about our campaign on your Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or other social media.

Posts from real people (not campaign accounts) reach way more people. The computer programs that run social media show your posts to more of your friends.

You can share our website, talk about why you support Greg, or post pictures of yourself with campaign materials.

Why it helps so much: One post can reach hundreds of people. If 50 volunteers each reach 200 friends, that's 10,000 people who hear about us—for free!
⏱️ Time: 5-10 minutes per post

#3

🚪 Knock on Doors in Your Neighborhood

Walk around your neighborhood and talk to voters face-to-face. This is called "canvassing."

You don't have to be a great speaker. Just introduce yourself, share a brochure, and ask if they've heard of Gregory Burgess. Most people are friendly!

We'll give you brochures and a simple script to follow.

Why it helps so much: Studies show that talking to someone in person is the #1 way to get them to vote for a candidate. Nothing else comes close.
⏱️ Time: 1-2 hours per session

#4

✍️ Write a Letter to Your Local Newspaper

Newspapers print letters from regular people. It's called the "Letters to the Editor" section.

Write a short letter (150-200 words) about why you support Gregory Burgess. Send it to your local paper—like the Marin IJ, Press Democrat, or Times-Standard.

This is FREE publicity that thousands of people will read!

Why it helps so much: Newspaper readers are voters. They trust letters from their neighbors. One letter can reach 10,000+ readers in your county.
⏱️ Time: 30 minutes to write

🎪 Represent Us at Community Events

Go to farmers markets, local fairs, town meetings, or other community events wearing campaign gear.

You can hand out brochures and answer basic questions. Or just be visible! When people see our name over and over, they remember it.

Great events: farmers markets, county fairs, school events, church gatherings, neighborhood meetings.

Why it helps so much: Being seen in person makes people trust us more. It shows we're real people, not just names on a ballot.
⏱️ Time: 2-3 hours per event

📞 Make Phone Calls to Voters

Call voters from home and tell them about Gregory Burgess. We give you a list of numbers and a simple script.

Most calls are short—30 seconds to 2 minutes. You're just asking if they know about our campaign and if they have questions.

This is great if you can't walk around but still want to talk to voters directly.

Why it helps so much: A personal phone call is much better than a text or email. Hearing a real person's voice makes a big difference.
⏱️ Time: 1-2 hours per session

#7

🎥 Record a Short Video

Use your phone to record a 30-second video about why you support Greg. Just look at the camera and speak from the heart!

You can say something like: "I'm voting for Gregory Burgess because..." and share your reason.

These videos work great on social media because they feel real and honest—not like a polished TV ad.

Why it helps so much: Video gets more attention than text or photos. Real people sharing real opinions is powerful.
⏱️ Time: 10-15 minutes

📅 Help Schedule Speaking Events

Do you belong to a club, church, or community group? Help us get Greg invited to speak!

Groups like Rotary, Lions Club, neighborhood associations, and church groups often invite guests to speak. You just need to ask your group leader.

We'll come prepared with a short talk about our three promises and answer questions.

Why it helps so much: Speaking to a group of 20-50 people at once is very efficient. These are often community leaders who talk to many other people.
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes to make the connection
