Strategically Selected to Build Long Term Campaign Infrastructure
2022 31st St. Strategy in a Nutshell
-
Election "infrastructure" is crucial, especially early in year
-
Major issues with the standard approach:
-
"Boom and Bust" cycle around the time of elections
-
Siloed campaigns; disjointed & uncoordinated efforts
-
Too much, and too late, dependence on TV
-
Failing to organize locally, year-round & on-the-ground
-
-
We build infrastructure in states with key elections, especially US Senate races, via organizations that do year-round, on-the-ground organizing.
-
Support State Party year-round organizing following successful Wisconsin model e.g. PA, NC and MI
-
Grassroots groups in PA, NC and GA
-
-
Especially look for opportunities to reach working class and rural voters
-
Working America's outreach to working class voters appears attractive, including for members to engage with "Boots-on-the-Ground" in Pennsylvania
-
Very selective candidate support where our dollars will be most effective
Our strategy is flexible, nimble, detail-oriented,
evidence-based, and targeted.
By banding together, we can have
the greatest impact.
