Welcome to canvassing.

You're going to walk a neighborhood, knock on a few doors, and have short conversations with people about Hunter Gordon's campaign for Congress.

If nobody answers, you leave a flyer and move on. Either way, you log the visit in this app. That's the job.

A home care aide vs. the 9th-richest member of Congress.

Why this matters.

Hunter is a 28-year-old home care aide running against Suzan DelBene — a 7-term incumbent who has never had a Democratic primary opponent in her career.

Voters in this district have never been asked what they actually want from a representative. You're how that conversation finally happens.

Tell us what actually happened.

Don't soften the data. If someone said they're voting Trump, log that. If they hate Hunter, log that. We use this to figure out where to spend the campaign's time and money.

Bad data costs us real votes later. Honest data — even when it's bad news — wins races.
