Although Coral Gables
Did Not Win the Election
OUR
VOLUNTEERS
ARE ALL WINNERS!
Despite the disappointing Gables Election results, the Coral Gables Democratic Club, with a little help from UM Dems and other Dem groups, is the main reason that Tom Wells achieved what he did. All of you that volunteered should feel immensely proud!
Tom Wells had the most modest self-funded and self-directed campaign of approximately $20,000. He focused on canvassing and sending emails detailing his platform to active Gables voters with help from his dedicated wife, Diane, plus friends, neighbors & colleagues.
Only 847 more votes went to Lara in the Run-off Election for Commission Grp III Candidate despite his tremendous volunteer support and $250,000 campaign provided by Lago, Anderson and developer contributions.
Although Gables Neighbors United and a few others provided endorsement support, it was our CG Dems Officers and Volunteer Committee Members that went all-out to try to get Tom Wells elected!
Immediately after the late February candidate filing deadline, we went into action and began providing voter lists and turfs, recruited more than 40 volunteers to send personal postcards (that we also designed), and to canvass, phone bank and text Gables voters.
We designed the attractive 6x9 palm cards used for canvassing and handing out at polling places (see above). We also recruited and helped coordinate Early Voting and Election Day volunteers…twice!!! We even recruited Miami Beach Dems to send 3,000 texts of our graphic for Tom and some Blue Wave partners – the HOT Team, Miami Springs Activists, Democratic Women’s Club and others - to help with making calls…all to Get Out the Vote for Tom Wells.
THANK YOU, Dem activists! You totally rock!!!
