Tools for PCOs
Precinct Committee Officers
(PCOs) serve as grassroots organizers in their neighborhoods. Their main
responsibility is to spread the word about the 43rd District Democrats'
endorsements before each election. PCOs also have certain voting rights within
the Democratic Party.
If you are interested in
becoming a PCO in the 43rd District, please contact our
Vice Chair for (PCO) Recruitment.
Info about the 43rd District
This brochure can help introduce voters to who we are, and what's going on

Walking List
A walking list contains the name and address
of every registered voter in your precinct (voter registration is public
information). With a walking list, you can focus your outreach efforts on
registered voters - or you can identify areas that might need a voter
registration drive. Every Democratic PCO in the 43rd District can access
their walking list online or request a printed copy; contact Julian Wheeler for
details.
Campaign Literature
Supplies of the 43rd District's sample ballot
cards, which list our endorsements, are made available to PCOs. We also
coordinate distribution of campaign literature to PCOs for all of our endorsed
candidates and initiatives. Details are sent to PCOs when campaign literature
is available.
