  • Join the Mineral Point Office Coverage calendar

    Through mid-November we plan to open our office door as much as possible. Please contact the office manager, Ken*, for a quick orientation and access to a calendar on which you can volunteer to cover open dates.

    Some people make a weekly commitment, others fill in here and there as their availability matches need. Well-behaved pets and children are welcome to accompany you. Volunteers will choose among tasks to work on, all of which can be paused to smile and engage with people who walk in — the most important task!

    Our minimum hopes for office coverage are Tuesday through Sunday, 9:00 a.m. through noon, but volunteers are welcome to open the office beyond these hours if available. *Call Ken at 608-358-0894.

  • Pocan Town Hall Wednesday May 27 & Other Upcoming Events

    Hello, Everyone!

    I write with some reminders of upcoming events.

    First up, Wednesday May 27, Mark Pocan will be holding a town hall forum at the Mineral Point City Hall. The event begins at 3:00 p.m., and the address is 137 High St, Mineral Point, WI 53565.

    Immediately after the Pocan town hall, the Iowa County party will be holding a discussion of plans for canvassing for the rest of 2026. AS I’ve noted before, we have some pretty substantial changes in mind for the coming months, and if you are at all interested in being part of this conversation, you are strongly encouraged to attend. We could also use help from people who do not want to do door-knocking, so if that is of any interest, please come!

    And speaking of canvassing, Ben Gruber’s campaign will be canvassing in Lafayette County on Saturday, May 30th. THere are two times that you can sign up for, at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
    Pick whichever time works best for you and then sign up for the canvas on Mobilize: Drivers are also welcome!

    On June 6th, Todd Larson will be hosting a campaign event for Governor candidate Sara Rodriguez at his farm near Blanchardville. The event runs from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. Further details and registration info can be found here:
