As Jim Himes articulated at our Campaign Kickoff, door knocking and having face to face conversations with voters is the most consistently effective way to persuade them to go out and vote and to vote for you.

With that in mind, we will begin our canvassing effort starting on Saturday, September 14th at 11:00 am at Comstock, Room 31, and every following Saturday through election. We hope you will commit to join us as often as your calendar permits.

At Comstock, we will pair a volunteer driver and a door-knocking partner. If you have friends or family members who would like to canvass with you please bring them as well. 

We will start with a short training, then provide you with a map with approximately 20 doors to knock and a list of the associated target voters with whom we hope you will make contact. Please note that these are “friendly” voters; Democrats with a few unaffiliated voters who skew Dem. We will also provide you with a script and three questions we would like you to ask. The script is a guide. You can make the script your own but we will ask you to ask the three questions and record the responses. We will also ask you to give each voter one our ‘2019 Candidate Guides.’

We will also provide you with a Wilton Dems pin to wear as an identifier. The police will be notified of our plans weekly. 

If Saturdays are not good for you, please let Melissa Spohn know and we can make arrangements for you to canvass on other days that work better for you. We have 90 areas to cover over an 8 week period!
