Municipal Elections and Overrides


Building member and community engagement to win more for public education

MTA affiliates can seek support from Grassroots staff on local elections.

What we need to get started:

  • Key campaign dates.
  • Insight to local capacity to engage members in voter outreach.
  • A campaign message, talking points or information that can be used for mailers, emails, etc.
  • Information on group, coalition, or campaign outside of the local managing the election.

Types of campaigns:

  • Overrides, debt exclusions and town meetings,
  • Mayoral, city council, school committee and select board races.
