JANET ST. CLAIR: Final Week Phone Banking Script

Island County Commissioner Janet St. Clair (D-Camano Island) sent out an email to supporters on Nov. 1, 2022. One of her calls-to-action was to volunteer for a virtual phone bank. We signed up in order to see the script that St. Clair’s volunteers would be using, which we present below. Volunteers are presented with the name of a specific voter to call, along with a phone number, the voter’s sex and age. The volunteer then chooses one option at each stage of the call.

Hi, my name is ______, is _______ available?

I’m a volunteer with our local democrats, and we’re checking in to see if you’ve had the chance to turn in your ballot for the November 8th election?

Have you had the chance to turn in your ballot yet? [Choose an option: Yes or Not yet]

IF NO: No worries! We have three really great candidates up for election this year. We have Dave Paul and Clyde Shavers for State Rep, and Janet St. Clair for Island County Commissioner.

Can Dave count on your vote? [Choose an option: 1 Strong Support, 2 Likely Support, 3 Undecided, 4 Likely Oppose, or 5 Strong Oppose]

Can Clyde Shavers count on your support this election? [Choose an option: 1 Strong Support, 2 Likely Support, 3 Undecided, 4 Likely Oppose, or 5 Strong Oppose]

Can Janet St. Clair count on your vote this year? [Choose an option: 1 Strong Support, 2 Likely Support, 3 Undecided, 4 Likely Oppose, or 5 Strong Oppose]

IF YES: Great, thank you so much for your time! We hope Dave, Clyde, and Janet earned your vote.
