Learn how to knock on doors to get out the vote
August 26, 2026
Have you thought about knocking on doors to get out the vote for Democratic candidates, but haven't signed up because you're not sure how canvassing is done?
Good news! We're holding early evening training sessions on canvassing on Thursday, September 10, at the Sawyer County and LCO Democratic Party office at 13827 County Highway B in Hayward. That’s at the intersection of County Highways K and B, next to Koobie’s Coffee Shop. Choose from one of three shifts at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., or 6 p.m.
Local party officers and experienced canvassers Mary Vitcenda and Barb Czarnecki will talk about the purpose of door knocking and how to use the mini-VAN app on your cell phone to identify doors to approach.
We will also do some role-playing on different situations you might experience while canvassing. In addition, we’ll answer your questions and discuss any concerns you might have about door knocking. Finally, we will provide snacks!
Don't be shy. Learn about canvassing and how you can help turn out the vote on November 3 for a better future for all Wisconsinites. Sign up on Mobilize at https://www.mobilize.us/wisdems/event/1011534/ Thank you!
Knock on doors in September for a Democratic win in November
August 26, 2026
You did your part voting in the August 11 primary. Now you can help assure that our Democratic candidates win the November 3 General Election. How? By knocking on doors and visiting with neighbors in Sawyer County.
Join us to listen to your neighbors’ concerns and talk to them about how their interests and candidates’ values align. Help win more Democratic seats in the Wisconsin Legislature and the governorship so lives get better for all Wisconsinites.
We’ll campaign for Charly Ray, candidate for the 25th District Wisconsin Senate seat; Paul Johnson, candidate for the 74th District Wisconsin Assembly seat; and David Crowley for governor. It’s essential to keep toxic election-denier Tom Tiffany out of the governor’s office. We’ll also campaign for Fred Clark, 7th CD U.S. House candidate.
Don’t worry if you’ve never door knocked before. We’ll walk you through the process and pair you with an experienced canvasser. We’re also conducting canvassing training in three shifts at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m. Thursday, September 10, at the Sawyer County and LCO Democratic Party office. Sign up for a training shift on Mobilize at https://www.mobilize.us/wisdems/event/1011534/
Our next Weekend of Action is September 19-20. Sign up for a door knocking shift on Mobilize at https://www.mobilize.us/wisdems/event/978724/
Remember to dress for the weather, and stay hydrated. Please bring a smartphone if possible, but if not—we’ll provide a paper list of households to canvass.
Let’s fight for a better future for all Wisconsinites!
