About this event
This is it, folks! Our last chance to get out the vote for Jake Johnson and flip MN-1. This time we'll hit the streets in Zumbrota, MN – a town of 4,000 that went 60% for Trump in 2024. The Johnson campaign has not been active here, so we will use this last canvass to provide coverage there. Now... who's this guy we're canvassing for, anyway? Johnson is a high school teacher seeking to follow in the steps of another teacher – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz – who flipped this district in the 2006 blue wave. Johnson has proven to be a strong candidate and is running competitively with Finstad, the Republican incumbent (and rubber-stamp for Trump's hare-brained schemes). This race is absolutely within reach. But only if we get out there and do the work. At this canvass, we’ll:
- Knock on **lots of doors**, not just the same voters campaigns usually talk to. Our target turf will be curated, but we're still casting a wide net.
- Have real conversations that **listen deeply** to voters’ concerns.
- **Gently persuade** on-the-fence voters to vote for Democrats.
- Encourage likely Democratic supporters to **make a plan** to vote.
- **Gather insights** for campaigns, so they can be responsive to voters’ needs and smarter with their messaging, targeting, and outreach. Don’t worry if it’s your first time canvassing—training, materials, and support are all provided. Just bring comfortable shoes, a charged phone, and your passion for making a difference. This isn’t traditional canvassing – it’s a whole new way of talking to voters. Join us and help turn the tide! -- Paid for by Swing Left, Swingleft.org, not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
