Conversation on Zoom Kicks Off Fall Connection Canvassing PushStrategist
Thanks to everyone — over 50 people! — who joined us for Lake Dems presents: Connecting with Voters — A Conversation with Jon Carson, A Top Obama Strategist.
Jon Carson served as National Field Director for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and was Deputy Assistant to the President for Public Engagement. He gave the Zoom crowd some great insight into building relationships with voters. Plus, we heard about his time with Barack Obama. It was terrific! Lake County Democrats are fired up and ready to go.
Carson highly recommended getting involved with Lake Dems’ Fall Connection Canvassing project. Getting to know folks and hearing what’s on their minds before there are even candidates on the ballot is how we’re able to connect with them and turn out the vote for Democrats later.

Lake Dems are excited to be doing this Fall Connection Canvassing. It’s not just important politically, it’s also really fun and interesting to build these relationships, whether door to door or on the phone. Interested in canvassing with us? We’ll supply you with lists of voters, training, and handouts to give to your Democratic neighbors.
