Meeting Minutes October 11, 2022 6:30pm in-person and via Zoom (24 participants) Welcome and Update Lyn welcomed all in attendance and provided the following comments: • Congratulations to all Kittery Dems for being clear leaders in Southern Maine. Our candidates do very well. Our enthusiasm was clear by the attendance and involvement at our annual picnic. • Our goal now needs to be to outproduce votes in southern Maine to offset Republican votes in northern Maine by helping to “Get Out the Vote”. To do so, canvassers only need to knock on known Democrats’ doors and ask what their plan is to vote on Nov. 8. • On Election Day, we will knock on doors of those who have not voted via mail to be sure they go out and vote.
