The System Works!
On September 1st, defeated an eight-term incumbent. Months before a single ballot was counted, our team had built an organizing strategy around one number: 14,765, our projected path to victory.
Persis finished with 15,609 votes!!
But this story isn’t really about a number. It’s about what happens when relationships, data, and disciplined grassroots organizing work together.
Anthony pulled back the curtain on the strategy we built for this race. Accessing how we analyzed the district, identified opportunities, prioritized limited resources, and helped turn a path on paper into a winning coalition.
For organizers, candidates, campaign staff, and anyone who has ever wondered what we mean when we say “organizing is more than knocking doors and making calls,” this one is worth the read.
