Episode notes
Florida 6th District Upset
- Democrats invested heavily in Florida's 6th district, spending $12 million, the fourth most in Florida history for a congressional race.
- Republicans, led by Denver Cook and volunteers, mounted a grassroots effort and secured a win with minimal funding, highlighting the power of local action.
Get Involved Locally
- Engage actively in local elections and support the MAGA movement by volunteering, phone banking, and door-knocking.
- Paid volunteers are not as effective as genuine, passionate volunteers in driving voter turnout.
Mobilizing Low-Propensity Voters
- The Republican party's shift towards a working-class base has increased low-propensity voters who need targeted mobilization.
- Traditional TV ads are ineffective; grassroots efforts are essential for turning out these voters.
