Seen while canvassing
Part IV - politicians and canvassing partners
One of my regrets is that I was not ever able to go out canvassing with the actual candidate. I came close - I went with a woman who had been working closely with our candidate for nearly two years. It was a joy to see this canvasser at work. She readily connected with voters at the door, knew how to answer just about any question, and always, always managed to convey a sense of good feeling about our candidate, while not compromising on the candidate's positions.
I did get to meet and talk with several candidates. I even got to shake the governor's hand.
You, the voter, may think that talking to a canvasser is annoying. But for me, the canvasser, this was necessary work to heal my soul.

I can't say I recommend canvassing after dark. This photo was taken
near the end of this canvassing day. |

Over drinks, of course. |
