In the 2024 election cycle, SBA and Women Speak Out (WSO) PAC launched our biggest voter contact effort ever to win the most consequential election of our lifetimes. We reached an astonishing milestone: 4 million visits to voter homes in a total of eight battleground states. This massive effort helped ensure a landslide victory for President Trump; flipped the U.S. Senate to GOP control; and secured what we expect at publication time will be an expanded GOP majority in the House.
Ryan OâConnell, advisor to SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser, traveled to the all-important battleground of Pennsylvania. There our canvassers visited targeted voters for over a year in the lead-up to November 5, making 448,000 visits to voter homes with the truth about the abortion extremism of the Democrats on their ballots. Their massive effort showed in the Pennsylvania wins for President Trump and Senator-elect Republican David McCormick, who defeated long-time Democrat incumbent Bob Casey.
Ryan interviewed some of our canvassers to get stories from the front lines and a behind-the-scenes look at their critical nuts-and-bolts work. From changing votes to life, to making sure low propensity voters cast their ballots, these canvassers made victory happen.
First up, Pennsylvania canvasser Nick shared his canvassing experiences and predictions for the then-upcoming elections. He correctly predicted that Donald Trump would win the state, with the suburbs being a critical area to watch in the race. For the Senate contest, he predicted that Republican nominee Dave McCormick would narrowly defeat incumbent Democrat Bob Casey by about two points, though the spread was narrower, Nick was right about this pick-up giving the GOP at least 53 seats in the Senate. Watch the video below for more of his insights and stories from the field:
