MADISON, WI — Juliana Bennett’s campaign for Wisconsin’s 76th Assembly District announced today that its grassroots field operation has knocked over 20,600 doors across the district, including more than 3,600 doors knocked over the past weekend alone.

From the beginning, Bennett’s campaign has built its operation around direct voter contact, grassroots fundraising, and community organizing. The campaign says that approach has allowed it to build a growing base of support across the district while competing against a better funded opponent.

“We built this campaign intentionally from the beginning, putting grassroots organizing at the center of everything we do, from how we raise money to how we reach voters and build coalitions,” said Juliana Bennett. “We started knocking doors in the snow, invested early in our field program, and made sure we were out talking directly with the people who will be represented in this district. We knew we would be outraised by an opponent, so we knew we had to organize differently.”

Despite being outraised roughly 2 to 1 in the race, the Bennett campaign outraised every other campaign in the district over the past month while maintaining the lowest average donation amount, a reflection of the campaign’s emphasis on grassroots support.

“The flood of support from volunteers and grassroots donors reflects what we’ve been hearing from voters across the district,” said Adrian Lampron, Bennett’s campaign manager. “As voters make their decisions, they’re responding to a campaign that has been listening and building a movement with them, not simply asking for their vote.”

Bennett’s campaign has continued to build a broad coalition of labor organizations, community leaders, progressive organizations, and grassroots volunteers united behind a vision for affordable housing, fully funded public schools, universal healthcare, workers’ rights, and an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well connected.

Assembly District 76 includes much of Madison’s Northside, Eastside, and Isthmus. The seat is currently held by Representative Francesca Hong, who is vacating the position to run for Governor.
