    About the Campaign

    Philippe Cicchini for Michigan State Senate is an independent campaign focused on bringing integrity, transparency, and people-first leadership to state government. At a time when many voters feel disconnected from the two-party system, this campaign is building a different kind of movement—one rooted in accountability, common sense, and community.

    Philippe Cicchini has already qualified to be on the ballot as an Independent candidate for the general election to be held on November 3, 2026, for District 9 (Troy, Rochester Hills, Rochester, Utica, and parts of Sterling Heights, Shelby Township, and Oakland Township).

    Position Overview

    We’re looking for motivated volunteers who want to make a real impact in a competitive state senate race. Whether you have political experience or are getting involved for the first time, there’s a place for you on this team.

    This is an opportunity to be part of a grassroots campaign that values initiative, creativity, and genuine engagement with voters. Volunteers are needed to speak with the public at rallies, festivals, canvassing, farmers' markets, and other similar events.

    Key Responsibilities (based on interest and availability)

    • Assist with community outreach (events, canvassing, voter engagement)
    • Support digital efforts (social media posting, content ideas, engagement)
    • Assist with campaign operations
    • Participate in event planning and staffing
    • Share campaign messaging within your own networks

    What We’re Looking For

    • Strong interest in public service, civic engagement, or political reform
    • Alignment with independent, people-first leadership values
    • Reliable, self-motivated, and willing to take initiative
    • Comfortable communicating with others (in person or online)
    • No prior campaign experience required

    What You’ll Gain

    • Hands-on experience in a real political campaign
    • Insight into grassroots organizing and voter outreach
    • Opportunity to build professional skills in communications, strategy, and organizing
    • A chance to make a tangible impact in your community
    • Students may have the ability to earn class credit (depending on class/school criteria)

    Time Commitment

    Flexible—volunteers can contribute as little as a few hours per week or take on larger roles depending on availability.
