About ElectionVolunteer.com

ElectionVolunteer.com was created by Alex Vassar in 2003 during the campaigns leading up to California's Recall of Governor Davis. The site began as a list of both local (Santa Clara County) Recall candidates and the major candidates whose campaigns had local offices. During the 2004 Primary Election cycle, ElectionVolunteer.com organized early lists of candidates to help connect the budding campaigns with local volunteers.

A second project, still under development, was started in 2005 to provide more background information on local candidates. This project will eventually include California candidate histories from 1950 to the present. The purpose for the websites is to educate the public about the political landscape around them, to create and interest in the politics, and help facilitate citizen involvement in the political process. Democracies work best when their citizens are informed and involved.

Alex Vassar

Alex Vassar is an almost life-long Californian (having moved to the state just a few years after he was born in Panama). Alex got involved in local politics in San Jose and has worked on several local and state races as well as volunteering as a tutor for Project SHINE. Having seen Panama transition from dictatorship to democracy in the last 16 years, Vassar is a strong believer in the importance of voting and community involvement. Alex is currently training to compete in the Biathalon event for the Panamanian Olympic Team in the 2010 Winter Games. He lives with his wife Jane and their dog Delta in San Jose.
