Farm Teams
For each LD, a listing of all relevant county district councilpersons, local councils and districts, officials of voluntary caring and advocacy organizations, and political activists. Both liberals and conservatives should be described. For example, the 47th LD would include their King County Councilpersons, the mayors and council persons of Auburn, Covington and Kent and numerous others associated with their school, water, fire and sewer districts, PSTA and other leaders, and more. The result is a skills bank of people with liberal values and competencies and others to be defeated.
