I think you are right about the door knocking. murielm99 Mar 2021 #6

defund the police slogan put a lot of our candidates in very challenging races, and I think Joe Biden’s rejection of that slogan saved us

was lack of door knocking. We did none in Iowa and Republicans were all over the place.

Not sure I want to see Greenfield again, but we need someone to be working to rise opposition to Grassley.
His age has been cited as a big detriment in the next election.

We live in Illinois, not far from the Iowa border. In past years, we have traveled to Iowa and knocked on doors. This year, we just could not risk that.

The poster above you wrote about some of the very vocal endorsements of those on the left. That is indeed a factor. It turns off people in my area, too. Those on the left need to realize that they are very polarizing in this part of the country.

The attached document was about the 2020 campaign.

You should consider deleting this post which based on a misunderstanding of the document's intent.

but I also think that a lot of people who don't usually vote crawled out from under their rocks to vote for that orange pustule and took the others along on the ride. Our tiny town usually has about 55-60% turnout. It was 87% this time.
