Knox County has been able to build using the new tools and training from the TNDP, training that works in suburban, urban and rural areas as you can adapt it according to your county needs. We were able to organize our Districts and build teams to get out the vote for our candidates. Though we were fighting a tough battle being the hometown of Bill Haslam, our candidates numbers show that this work was effective! We made thousands of calls and knocked thousands of doors and each day of early vote we had updated lists, thanks to the TNDP, as they updated and removed those who had already voted.
Between end of early vote and election day we were able to call/knock every demo who had not yet voted. Our vols became team leaders and brought in more volunteers...we are now able to train them here and get them started. We are well on our way to building our county precinct by precinct, neighborhood by neighborhood and becoming an unbeatable force.
This is all due to Chip, his team, and their commitment to every county. As busy as they are, they are always able to take our calls or get back to us quickly. They helped us create great target lists and assisted with any data issue. As busy as it must have been election day, Chip was able to take time to speak with one of our members who was going on television and within 30 minutes was able to get the state and national talking points to him before he went on the air. There has never been a time we have not gotten immediate help from Chip or his staff.
I wish I could vote for Chip too!
Gloria Johnson, Chair
Knox County Democratic Party
