2018 Midterms: The Final Stretch!
While the upcoming holiday weekend is a time we should all celebrate the Labor Movement and the contributions that workers have made to our great country, Labor Day has come to signify many different things in our national psyche. Students dread the return to school almost as much as their parents welcome it. We get our last chance to eat fried oreos at state fairs around the country. On Capitol Hill, it symbolizes the end of the August recess (even this year’s truncated one) and a return to legislative business. And in the campaign world, Labor Day marks the official homestretch of the campaign season. With just 10 weeks until Election Day, if you haven’t already started — let the Hustling begin!
For many of you, this is your first cycle using P2P texting as part of your voter outreach toolkit. Know that you are part of a network of campaigns across the country hustling hard to paint the electoral map blue. It doesn’t matter if you are a brand new Hustler or a Hustle pro…we have you covered so you can use Hustle to crush the 2018 cycle! We have a ton of great resources to help you enter the homestretch making the most of the platform.
