JASON SALMON BUILDS MOMENTUM FOR SENATE RACE AND KICKS OFF VOTER OUTREACH EFFORTS 

Salmon launched his canvassing effort through a weekend long Voter Outreach Kick-Off 

Brooklyn, NY – Candidate for New York’s 25th Senate District, Jason Salmon builds momentum for his Senate race by launching his voter outreach effort. This past Saturday and Sunday, Jason Salmon was joined by local community members, activists, friends, family, and neighbors for a weekend full of training and canvassing.

“I would like to give special thanks to everyone who has supported me through this journey. I have received so much encouragement not only from friends and family, but from complete strangers when I knock on their doors. This campaign is about building grassroots power and bringing communities together — when communities come together we can make our voices heard. This is how, together, we can end mass incarceration, tackle the affordable housing crisis, and improve our education system,” said Jason Salmon. 

Jason and his team will continue to knock on as many doors as possible before the primary election on June 23, 2019.
