Start The Conversation
How does the average voter decide between two Presidential candidates? Hundreds of academic studies list dozens of factors and those factors have varying degrees of impact depending on a voters age, education, and financial status. However, there is one factor referred to most frequently—which person (or persons) did the voter talk to regarding the candidates? These people could be friends, co-workers, family members or… a person who knocks on the door of their home.
Reach Out to Friends & Family
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O’Neill popularized the phrase “All politics is local” and nothing is more local than a person knocking on your door and asking to talk about the attributes of their candidate. At this point in the Presidential campaign—only weeks remaining—many voters are tired of loud advertisements screaming at them and repeating over and over the myriad faults of “the opponent.” Marketing studies show that radio, television, and Internet advertisements have decreasing effect over time. Many voters “tune them out” due to repetition. Last minute advertising blitzes are popular but are shown to have little impact on voter decisions. But a conversation in a doorway is a different and personal experience, a human interaction between people rather than a speech or marketing message directed at a person. People like to talk about political issues if they feel safe, if they feel there will not be an argument and if they feel they will be listened to.
Help Us Reach Out to Voters
At the Republican Party of Kenosha County we need conservatives to step out of their comfort zones and join us as we have meaningful conversations with voters at their doorsteps. We will provide you with the training and the tools you need to canvass in support of conservative candidates and make an immediate impression on a voter. Polls tell us that at least 10% of registered voters are still undecided. If you talk to one of those you have the opportunity to make an immediate difference… because you knocked on a door.
