Attendees of RVDW’s August 2025 monthly membership meeting gained valuable understanding of the importance of canvassing, also known as “knocking doors.” Door-to-door canvassing allows campaigns to listen to voter concerns, answer questions, gather voter information, and encourage participation in upcoming elections. It is effective at building trust, increasing voter turnout, and persuading undecided voters by creating direct, human connections. Door-to-door canvassing remains one of the most impactful tools for mobilizing communities and winning elections.
RVDW appreciates our presenter, Emily Kate Stick of Donna Littlepage for Virginia Delegate campaign, for providing her presentation slides to share here:
About Our Presenter:
Emily Kate Stick is excited to work with the Donna Littlepage for Virginia Delegate campaign, focusing on the local races and candidates she loves most. Raised in Grayson County (Va) among farmers and teachers, she grew up on the lifelong values of community and stewardship.
EK brings statewide and national campaign experience to the table, most notably on Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign and as senior staff on both US Congressional and Senate races. She has seen firsthand how large campaign models leave votes on the table in rural America and is grateful for the opportunity to invest in local solutions and a community led approach to winning elections!
