Being a nurse can be demanding, and he knew that in his position he would do whatever it took to provide for as many patients as possible. He began his career in healthcare because of his passion for helping people when they need it most. Michael will be graduating from nursing school at the end of the year. “But, at the same time, there’s strength in that diversity.” “The community is very diverse, which can at times be polarizing,” Michael said. He found himself drawn to the vibrant community. Michael is a Vegas transplant by way of California and really enjoys the city life.

Meet two Campaign Fellows working hard in Nevada and Texas: Michael ![]() As of this writing, this year’s Fellows have knocked over 1 million doors, made 700,000+ calls, sent 870,000+ texts, and recruited 11,000+ volunteer shifts. Last cycle, our Fellows made over 200,000 voter contact attempts - an average of over 1,000 attempts per Fellow, and the campaigns certainly felt the difference. Progressive Turnout Project provides two months of coaching, mentoring, and support to equip Fellows with the most effective resources, strategies and expertise to support their candidates.Īdding just one team member can make all the difference, especially in the out-of-the-spotlight races Democrats need to win. Then, we fully invest in the success of those Fellows. PTP invests in Fellows who have been hand-selected by our in-state partners: campaigns, state parties, or caucuses. How the Campaign Fellows program worksįirst, we work with Democratic campaigns to identify individuals with talent and passion - and who could do even more with a paid opportunity. That’s why we expanded our Fellows Program this cycle to include over 800 Fellows in support of 13 state legislatures and over 100 Congressional candidates nationwide. This is especially important this year as more and more crucial issues - abortion rights, healthcare, economic assistance, gun violence, and more - are being handled at the state level. The Campaign Fellows Program is one way of building capacity so that Democratic campaigns are able to compete and win. Direct voter contact - the most effective way to increase turnout - takes time, money, and as many hands as possible knocking doors and talking to voters. Our mission: rally Democrats to vote.Īt Progressive Turnout Project, we are committed to securing Democratic victories up and down the ballot.
