Benzie County Democrats

Why are you voting (blue) this election?

Jackie Marie Abeyta is an educator and a mother who lives and votes in Benzie County. Listen to her reasons for "voting blue" this election cycle in this short video.

And please make sure to SHARE this video: we want our friends and neighbors to see it!

********

This is the first in a series of video advertisements that the Benzie Dems have commissioned from locally owned OB and Co. Productions.

09/05/2020

Why are you voting? Help us make some Benzie County-specific ads for various social media platforms (details in the post below)

WE WANT YOU: Hey friends! We're looking for people who are willing to be in a short (30-second) video!

We're hiring young, local talent -- Oliver Maximilian VW Buzzell of OB and Co. Productions -- to create a series of videos of Benzie County people for the upcoming election. (Yep, cuz we're trying to help to increase the local economy, and this is one way to do that: provide jobs for young people!)

If you are interested, comment below by answering the following question:

1. What are your ties to Benzie County? (Ex. You live here, you work here, you vote here, your kids go to school here, etc.)

2. Why are you voting "blue" this election cycle?

That's it! Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy! We're trying to get a diverse range of voices for this video series.
