Volunteer toolkit

Make the whole city look like one campaign

Everything here is free, editable, and already carries the disclaimer. That last part matters more than it sounds: the most common way a small campaign gets a complaint filed against it is a volunteer making a beautiful graphic at eleven at night without the legal line on it.


Yard sign

24 × 18 inches, the standard corrugated plastic ratio. Two ink colours to keep printing cheap. Disclaimer at 5% of sign height, which is what California requires for signage.

Profile frame

A gold ring and one line, for Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp. Sized so the text survives the platform crop, which most frames do not.

Story cards

9 × 16 vertical cards for the deadlines that matter — ballots mailing October 5, registration closing October 19, Election Day. Any Service Receipt on this site can also be exported as one.

“I met Suresh” photo border

For volunteers and residents who take a photo at a tournament or a doorstep. Adds the border and the disclaimer in one step.

Brand basics

The Delta Blue Civic palette with hex values, the two typefaces, and one page of rules — mostly about what not to do. Gold is never body text; it fails contrast.

Canvass script & FAQ card

One page, pocket sized. What to say at a door, the four dates people ask about, and what to do when someone asks about another candidate — which is to talk about Suresh.

Three rules for anything you make yourself

  1. Keep the disclaimer on it. On a social advertisement California requires at least 10-point in a contrasting colour. On a yard sign it must be at least 5% of the sign's height. Every file here already complies; if you rebuild something from scratch, carry it over.
  2. Never use a city or county seal or logo. Not on a graphic, not as a background, not “just for the shape.” Implying government endorsement is a misdemeanour in California and it is also the fastest way to lose people's trust.
  3. Do not post about the other candidates. Not a comparison, not a screenshot, not a joke. This campaign talks about its own record. It is a better argument and it is a smaller city than you think.

Files are generated from the design system in the repository. Until the committee name is confirmed by the treasurer, every asset renders the interim disclaimer shown above and will be regenerated the moment the registered name and FPPC identification number exist.
