There are fewer than 40 trans athletes in varsity sports nationwide. Over 200 died from school shootings in 2023. One of these issues has an extremely small chance at hurting a kid’s sports career. The other will end their sports career.

The Biden and subsequent Harris ground game in PA relied almost entirely on phone calls and door knocks. We were repeatedly told that there was data to prove the effectiveness of these tactics, but my experience showed me that we need to modernize our approach to win in the 21st century.

Something I’ve been thinking a lot about was our policy on canvassing during persuasion. We told canvassers to talk to Republicans, but only if they were leaning Harris or undecided. Folks were told to thank Trump supporters for their time and move on.

I worked on the Harris campaign in the Main Line, and we had two dueling sets of statistics. On the one hand, we increased our vote share over Biden’s from 2020 by .39%. On the other hand, we had fewer votes on our side than Biden did four years ago. Turnout was down, but even lower for Trump here.

As far as I know, this is the highest position a Haverford alum has had in US politics. Just setting goal posts for the alumni community…
President-elect Donald Trump announced he’s tapped his transition team co-chair, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, as commerce secretary.

As a field organizer this election, I can’t emphasize enough how accurate this is.
While we were able to build a large volunteer base, we had to start from scratch with no local connections. We started from a place of distrust and it limited our ability to build infrastructure.

Yes yes yes. I have run a 24/7, 365 operation since I got elected. I have a permanent campaign HQ that rotates between off-year and on-year organizing.
People thought it was nuts when I first set it up. I said you’re setting yourself up for disaster if you only show up 6 mos before an election.

We also treat “the campaign” as if it’s something that occurs June-November. What the right knows and excels at is that the campaign exists every day, all year around. Dems need to do a better job of touting their legislative wins and bashing the gop for opposing popular bills that help real people.
