Please reach out if you're interested in volunteering to help Dr.
Cornel West get on the ballot! If you're tired of the two party system, this is the year to break it.
2024 is the most doable year so far for an Independent to win the State, especially with so many candidates running, the "first-past-the-post" system gives candidates outside the two parties an outsized chance to win the whole thing! Please volunteer to help, even if you only have a couple a hours here and there, or if you want to dedicate more time.
