I started off as a volunteer deputy registrar here in Dallas during the 2020 primaries serving as the Voter Registration Committee Chair for Stonewall Democrats of Dallas. At the time, I felt a calling to do anything and everything I could to increase voter turnout. I still feel this calling and continue to work with organizations by helping them improve voter education and election awareness. We can register every single eligible voter in the nation, but if we’re not giving them all the information they need to be an active voter, we simply cannot affect positive change. This is why I chose to become part of the Rideshare2Vote Aware team! With the skills and experience I’ll gain from this program, I can get one step further to reaching my goal of tripling voter turnout in Texas over the next ten years. As ambitious as that sounds, something I learned as a Bernie Victory Captain was always to create goals for yourself that seem impossible, so you never lose your motivation. With the help of Rideshare2Vote Aware, I’m more than confident I can complete my mission so the people of Texas can confidently say our votes matter and know our elected leaders take us seriously.
