Grindstone Campaigns offers direct voter contact & community engagement strategies that win. The Grindstone team has worked on successful field campaigns for over 15 years. We have worked at every level - local mayoral races, state legislative races, top DCCC red-to-blue races, CA statewide propositions, the Iowa caucuses, and the 2020 Biden-Harris coordinated campaign in Wisconsin. Field outreach is a wonderful and wild grind, and we love to tackle the unique challenges found in each race, no matter how big or small.
If you are an SWS family and have an issue you are passionate about, want to represent your community, or have a friend who's running for elected office, let us know. We'll get you rolling ourselves or point you in the direction of someone who can.

Pavilion provides Full Service Car Care through our Car Wash, Quick Lube, Detail Center, and Gift Shop. Our 85+ member team takes great pride in their work to provide our guests a quality experience. Bonus: A car wash is included with an oil change.
Full Service washes are helpful for the environment in capturing, filtering, and properly disposing of the waste on cars and preventing that waste from going into storm drains that go directly to our beautiful Sacramento streams and rivers. We purchase products that are safe for the environment, recycle water, and use less water than the average home wash or charity wash.
Pavilion is a great place to work. If you know someone wanting to work around their college schedule, encourage them to come check us out.
Open Tuesday - Saturday, 8am to 5pm. Closed Sunday & Monday.
