Door to door with Nancy Guy
Bringing school-board common sense to the state capitol
At Future Now Fund, we’re obsessively focused on winning state legislative majorities. And what’s the best way to win? Knocking doors.
That’s why we invited our nine endorsed challengers running for the Virginia House of Delegates to participate in the Door Knocking Challenge, a first-of-its-kind initiative to get candidates off the phone with donors and in front of voters. Over the coming months, you’ll hear from these FNF endorsees ‒ hopefully as they are lacing up a new pair of sneakers!
Next up: Nancy Guy! She wants to bring her experience in Virginia Beach’s schools and small businesses to the capitol.
What should people know about your district?
Since the Supreme Court upheld the districts that reverse racial gerrymandering, the 83rd has become one of the most flippable seats in Virginia’s House of Delegates.
What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned knocking doors?
There really are strong Republicans who are married to strong Democrats. I don’t know how they do it.
What one essential thing do you always bring with you when you canvass?
My water bottle!
What is the top issue voters talk to you about when you canvass?
Since the horrific shooting here in Virginia Beach on May 31, everyone brings up gun safety.
What’s your favorite part of knocking doors? Your least favorite?
I love seeing old friends, meeting new folks and discussing issues. The only thing I don’t like is that I do not wear a hat or sunglasses in order to appear more approachable. It is both hot and bright walking for hours in the summer here in Virginia Beach.
