CORNWALL – State Rep. Maria Horn will kick off a series of volunteer door-knocking events across the 64th District, with stops in the Northwest Corner – including a first stop in Cornwall on Sunday, June 28, from noon to 3 p.m.

The events are part of Horn’s re-election campaign and will continue through October in each of the district’s nine towns, including Kent, Sharon, Falls Village, North Canaan, Norfolk and Salisbury.

“Door-knocking gives us a chance to let voters speak their minds about what’s most important to them,” Horn wrote in an email to supporters.

Volunteers will receive training before canvassing neighborhoods and speaking with voters about local issues and the upcoming election.

Those who cannot walk door-to-door can support virtual phone banking.

Horn said the door-knocking effort is intended to help volunteers engage directly with residents while gathering feedback to inform outreach ahead of the November election.

Horn accepted the Democratic nomination for State Representative in the 64th District earlier this spring.
