How we’ll reinvent the broken voter contact process together:

Go big by talking to all swing district voters, not just likely Dems. Because traditional voter contact too often misses persuadable voters.

To build on the wins of the 2025 elections and avoid the losses of 2024,  Democrats need to know more about the voters who swung our way—or could next time. Ground Truth helps campaigns find, understand, and serve these swing district voters nationwide.

Democrats Are Workshopping New Tactics After Losses of 2024

“We need to fix the Democratic brand and that requires rebuilding trust and listening,” Ms. [Yasmin] Radjy said. “We can’t be involved in small tweaks anymore.” One of Swing Left’s new ideas, which it is calling “Ground Truth,” aims to enlist volunteers to knock on every single door in tightly contested congressional districts, not just on targeted ones.”

How one Dem group is rethinking canvassing

“Following the FEC’s decision to allow canvassing coordination between outside groups and campaigns last year, Swing Left is taking a big swing. It’s doubling its operational budget, hiring more staff and piloting a year-round canvassing program that utilizes artificial intelligence, all in an effort to help Democrats win next year’s midterm elections and fix what the group describes as a broken party infrastructure.”

“We’ve got to throw away the old playbook, and we’ve got to start a radically different approach. At Swing Left, we’re working with House Democrats now on a new program called Ground Truth, which is our most ambitious effort ever to reach voters. And not just Democratic base voters—swing voters as well…Republican, Independent, and squishy Democrats, too.”

“Trust is built by showing up early, listening closely and treating every voter as worth the conversation. That is how Democrats can win elections—and, importantly, how we can strengthen democracy itself.” —Yasmin Radjy
