No outside money. No political machine. Just neighbors talking to neighbors — because that's what actually moves votes in Jerome County. Here's how you can help Jerry win.
County commissioner races are decided by small margins — often a few hundred votes in a primary. A neighbor's endorsement at the door, a yard sign on a busy road, a room full of supporters at a community event: these are the things that decide this race. Pick the one that fits your life and sign up below.
The single most effective thing you can do. A real conversation at the front door is 10 times more persuasive than a mailer or an ad. We'll provide walk lists, talking points, and training — you provide the enthusiasm.
Shifts are 2 hours on weekend mornings or weekday evenings. You'll work a specific neighborhood with a partner. No political experience needed — just be yourself.
Invite 10–30 neighbors to your home, farm, shop, or church hall. Jerry will come and speak for 20 minutes, answer questions honestly, and let your guests decide for themselves. Your endorsement as the host is worth more than you know.
You handle invitations; we help with everything else (talking points, signage, follow-up materials). An outdoor barbecue, a coffee hour, or a simple living room meeting all work great.
Visibility builds credibility. When a voter sees a Jerry Holton sign at 10 farms and homes along their daily commute, it signals community consensus. Big property signs on busy roads are especially valuable.
Signs are free. If you have frontage on a main road, a highway, or near a school or church, please request a larger sign — those locations are gold. We'll deliver directly to your address.
Talk to voters from your own home on your own schedule. Phone banking is perfect for people who can't canvass but want to make real contact — especially valuable in the final weeks before the primary.
We'll provide a call script and a list of persuadable voters in Jerome County. Typically 1–2 hour shifts from home. Texting lists also available for those who prefer that format.
A letter from a real Jerome County resident in the Times-News or local paper carries more weight than any campaign statement. Share your personal experience with Jerry, with county government, or with a specific issue you care about.
Jerry's team can help you draft and refine your letter if you're not sure where to start. The Times-News (Magic Valley) and the Jerome Nickel Worth both accept letters. Your words, your story — we'll help you tell it.
Post, share, comment, and tag friends in Jerome County. When people see their real neighbors publicly backing Jerry, it normalizes supporting him and expands reach far beyond what the campaign budget can buy.
We'll send supporters ready-made graphics, key messages, and post ideas by text or email. Takes 2 minutes and reaches people we'll never knock a door for. Especially powerful on Facebook in rural Idaho.
On primary day, we need people at polling locations, helping with rides to the polls, making last reminder calls, and staffing the campaign's get-out-the-vote operation from morning until the polls close at 8 PM.
This is the day it all comes together. Even a 4-hour shift on election day can make the difference. Sign up now and we'll contact you with specifics as the date approaches.
If you're a farmer, rancher, or local business owner willing to publicly endorse Jerry, that carries enormous credibility in this community. Your name and profession on a list of local endorsements speaks volumes.
We'll list your name (and business/farm if you like) on the campaign website. A quote for use on social media or in materials is optional. No financial commitment required.
Commissioners notice when the room is full. A packed public comment period with informed citizens sends a message no campaign ad can. Your physical presence — even in silence — changes what's politically possible.
Meetings are the first Monday of each month, 9 AM, Jerome County Courthouse, 300 N Lincoln. P&Z Commission meets separately. Sign up and we'll text you reminders before each meeting.
The most powerful thing ordinary citizens can do right now — before a single vote is cast — is fill those meeting rooms. Commissioners make decisions differently when the public is watching. Your presence is civic pressure that no lawsuit or campaign ad can replicate.
The three-member board that makes final county policy decisions, approves budgets, and votes on major zoning matters after P&Z recommendation.
The appointed board that holds public hearings on rezoning, variances, special use permits, and ordinance changes before making recommendations to the commissioners.
This campaign doesn't have a political party machine or a big donor network. It has Jerome County residents who know what good local government looks like and are willing to stand up for it.
Fill out the form and Jerry's team will follow up personally — not with a form email, but with a real message or phone call about how you can be most useful. We'll match your time and your skills to what the campaign actually needs right now.
If you've never volunteered for a campaign before, that's fine. Most of our best volunteers haven't. If you can knock a door, make a phone call, or host a barbecue, you're qualified.
Our promise to you: We will never sell or share your contact information. We'll only contact you about Jerome County Commissioner race activities. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text or emailing the campaign.
Takes 2 minutes. Someone will follow up personally.
A "Meet Jerry" event is the campaign's most powerful tool for winning new supporters. When a neighbor invites you to their home to meet a candidate, you come with a different mindset than when you receive a mailer or see an ad. You come because you trust the person who invited you. That trust transfers.
Invite 15–40 people you know personally — neighbors, church members, fellow farmers, business contacts, parents from school. Provide a place to gather (your living room, back porch, shop floor, or community hall). Introduce Jerry yourself. That's it.
Jerry speaks for 15–20 minutes about the issues that matter most in Jerome County — property rights, transparency, the Midpoint Substation corridor, fiscal responsibility. Then he takes questions from the room, honestly, for as long as people want to talk.
Jerry's team will provide yard signs for the event, campaign literature for guests, and a follow-up contact card for anyone who wants to volunteer or donate after the event. We'll help you draft the invitation too.
Ready to host? Email or call Jerry's team and we'll schedule a date that works for you and your guests.
