Take Action

A local campaign needs local support.

Mankato residents are the foundation of this campaign. Here are practical ways to volunteer, stay informed, and help before August 11.

Volunteer

Knock doors, make calls, or help at events. This is a door-to-door campaign — a few hours of your time makes a real difference in a local race.

Request a yard sign

Show your neighbors where you stand. Request a sign and the campaign will get one to your yard.

Spread the word

Follow and share the campaign on Facebook and X — and talk to your neighbors about August 11. Word of mouth wins local elections.

Host a gathering

Invite Toby to meet with your neighbors, block club, or workplace for a direct conversation about Mankato's priorities.

Three dates that decide Mankato’s next mayor.

Primary Election Day
