Canvassing.
Still the most effective way to persuade voters.
When I started my State Senate campaign, I’d never lit dropped or canvassed a single home. And 12-months after announcing our campaign, I was absolutely staggered to realize our team or more than 160 volunteers had broken records and canvassed over 14,000 homes! As part of that effort, we’d even hosted the largest canvassing event in North Metro Atlanta history—1,200 doors, 1,000 calls, and 700 postcards in a single day!
I was beyond fortunate to have had so many great partners in this effort:
I was fortunate to learn at the proverbial knee of Micheal Garza, who’s passion for canvassing not only wears through sneakers like nobody’s business, but who’s experience leveled me and my volunteer crew up at record speed. I’m so thankful his House District 46 and my Senate District 56 overlap 100%!
I was also blessed to have the support of the Cherokee County Democrats. They were the first county party I really leaned into and it was a wonderful experience to grow and learn alongside their impressive and motivated GOTV team. They did an amazing job reaching voters in Woodstock and along 92!
And I remain beyond thankful for the support of the Progressive Turnout Project, a political action committee who funded full-time fellows to work the field for our campaign and the campaigns of several overlapping house races!
Canvassing can be one of the most effective ways for a candidate to spread their message and I’m grateful to these partners and our host of volunteers for ringing so many doorbells and talking to so many neighbors!
