A district committee is the small, disciplined team that turns volunteers into an army. The Academy field-guide courses — the People Primaries Field Manual-FM67 and the Candidate’s Survival Guide — cover this in depth. Here’s the operational summary.

Core roles

Field General — overall leader and public face.
Recruiter — brings new members into the group and the Promise.
Comms lead — runs the activity feed and keeps discussion going.
Events coordinator — schedules meetups, canvasses, and rallies.
Data/Map lead — tracks members and reports status to the Activity Map.

Running effective meetings

Set a clear agenda and time limit (45–60 min).
Use the Events page to schedule and RSVP.
Assign concrete next actions with owners and deadlines.
Post a short summary in the activity feed afterward.

Recruitment discipline

Quality over quantity. A committed member who door-knocks is worth a hundred passive signups. Use the district feed and in-person meetups to vet and onboard new members, and pair each newcomer with a buddy.

The ground game

Doorbells, not billboards. Handshakes, not hashtags. The People Primaries Field Manual-FM67 Academy course walks through canvassing scripts, walk lists, and follow-up. Real elections are won face-to-face.
