I have been an explorer for as long as I can remember - however, I have not yet had the opportunity to explore much of the great state of Washington, since I was either a) unable to drive or b) attending school across the country. So, naturally, this weekend I jumped at the chance to canvass in the city of Yakima for the Yes on Districts campaign.
Briefly, the Yes on Districts campaign will create 7 districts in Yakima (there are currently 4) so that each city council member represents a smaller number of people and can be more accessible/cater to their needs better. It is a proposition in an off-year election, so they needed all the help they could get raising awareness of something that could be monumental for Yakima. Thus, the Washington Bus hooked us up with the opportunity to canvass with their group. Woo hoo! Adventure and local politics!
We will be going back there in August with a greater number of volunteers for the final push towards the primary, so don't hesitate to contact me if you want to join us next time!
