Great show. My only “complaint”, which is really more of a compliment, is that there is not enough episodes.
Former PFA Organizer with gratitude.
I was an organizer with PFA in Reno, NV and I have to express my gratitude for receiving the opportunity to be a part of this process.
I applied for a position in Iowa, but was assigned to NEVADA!? I have friends who have organized in Nevada and their war stories began to play on repeat in my head.
One of the toughest states to organize for a campaign taking a different approach to organizing? My competitive nature quickly came to the surface. I dropped out of my college courses, broke my lease, packed my Nissan Pathfinder with 165,000 on it and sped down to elect a man with a radical message that has changed my view on successful campaigning and has taught me so much.
Communication from the top, down was always consistent and clear on objectives. I’m the luckiest man in the world to have had this opportunity to work for such a disciplined and organized campaign.
Organizing in Nevada with this new strategy has made me a much better organizer that is more confident in decision making and the ability to deploy resources and time into precincts that best helped the campaign.
Above all, being a part of this campaign has made me a better man.
Greta and the whole team were fantastic. I hope to be a part of the 2.0 strategy.
