Help Shape the Debate! Participate in the Political Process in the VT Governor's Race.

We are headed into a critical election both nationally and locally; and voters deserve to know how candidates will lead. The future of Social Security needs to be a critical part of the debate for President.  As for state level elections, if a candidate wants to be Governor, they should be able to tell us their plans to address transportation needs and the rising cost of our utilities.  We need your help to ensure issues facing older adults are top of mind for our next Governor.

Want to Participate in Activities that will shape the debate for our next Governor? We have a chance to make that happen!   In preparation for the 2016 election, we are building a team of volunteers – just like you – who are interested in the political process.  Volunteers will be trained to encourage voters to discuss key issues and ask candidates their views on critical issues.

AARP VT is hosting an informational session for people interested in talking with candidates at various events, town hall meetings, and engaging on social media.  We’ll start with some snacks and follow with an overview of AARP’s civic engagement/voter education work and talk about how you can get involved and make a difference!
