Colorado Voter Information
- Eric gave a brief rundown on our member trend numbers
- Generally we take close to 2/3 of our membership between 18-45
- Slight tendency for male membership in progressive communities
- Longmont is a promising city within the Front Range, El Paso County numbers also demonstrate relative strength (perhaps in part due to a strong Unity candidate in 2020)
- Elijah will help make a graphics page, heat map
County Websites
- Boulder site: https://www.unitedbouldercounty.org
- Looks fantastic!
- Content is also not veering in any significant or deleterious manner from National or State.
2022 Candidates
- Donnie Harris on the call for Indiana Senate 2022.
- He discussed some of his platform – Climate, Civilian Enforcement
- Running against Todd Young
- Note that there will be a requirement of 2% of the votes for Sec. of State for petitioning on the ballot (during the 118 period in the spring of 2022).
- He will need help and Unity Party of America will assist
- Press release forthcoming
Media
- National Media Deficit (lame duck period)
- Bill knows national anchors and others are opening his emails, we’re just looking to get picked up more
- More traffic on unityparty.us than RNC site on at least one point in the past
- New Content on our own sites trumps social media – Generate more!
