GOTV 2024 

THANK YOU to all the fantastic volunteers that have participated in our 2024 canvasses. Since April we have KNOCKED OVER 20,000 DOORS AND HAD OVER 3,500 CONVERSATIONS with Undecided, Independent, and Sporadic voters.

There are 35 DAYS until the election.  Door knocking wins elections! Please join our loyal volunteers to finish strong. It's all about being able to look in the mirror on November 6, knowing that you did everything you could to help turn Scott County BLUE again!

Please Sign up here to see our October dates and sign up for as many shifts as possible.

If you have already been knocking doors, THANK YOU! Please invite a friend to come with you the next time you canvass. If you have not been able to canvass yet, now is the time! You will be trained, and new canvassers often go in pairs until they feel comfortable with the process.

Walk ins are welcome!
