Volunteer of the Week: Andrew 🏆
Andrew built the voter outreach program for Jarrett for Legislature in New York using VAN, MiniVAN, and OpenVPB to make the campaign more efficient and effective.
Now, with Election Day close, he’s helping others do the same. He’s running phonebanks for other candidates and training their volunteer teams on OpenVPB, so more campaigns can scale up their outreach. Thank you for everything you've done to help more Democrats get elected, Andrew! 💙

Dry Run Weekend #1 is here! Confirm your shifts, cut your turf, and note what works and what doesn’t. Better to catch it now and fix it now than to find out on GOTV Weekend.
Our team joined the Philadelphia Democratic Party’s Annual Fall Dinner last week. Governor Shapiro and President Biden rallied the room, and the message was clear: we’re here to win this fall. With the midterms just weeks away, we must keep pushing because every minute counts.

Heading back to doors you've already knocked? Did your voter universe shift? Refresh your turfs instead of recutting them. Refreshing reruns the saved search behind your turfs, so your boundaries stay put and the households inside them stay current. That way, you don't have to start from scratch, which means more time to spend in the field.
When to refresh:
- Before you revisit an area or launch a second pass
- After an early vote data upload
- After a big universe change
- On the Monday of GOTV weekend
We're in the final sprint to Election Day. Stay tuned for Maya's walkthrough on refreshing your turfs, so your team hits the right doors every time.
