Seen while canvassing - people

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.

As the campaign season neared its end, it got COLD!

A much needed post-canvassing debriefing session.
Over drinks, of course.
