Host a Get-Out-the-Vote Drive!

 

The Texas Hospital Association and HOSPAC (THA’s political action committee) have developed this online Get-Out-The-Vote toolkit for all member hospitals. By sponsoring voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities, hospitals can help mobilize Texas’ more than 340,000 hospital employees and make them influential participants in both the primary elections in March and the General Election in November.

 

If you have questions about the upcoming election, contact Lisa Kepple, THA’s director of political action programs, at 512/465-1047. If you have questions about this kit or any of the materials, please contact THA’s Communications Department at 512/465-1050 or e-mail Kathy Li.
