FAITH & FREEDOM VOLUNTEERS REACH 5.1 MILLION DOORS IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATES

State-of-the-Art Ground Game Projected to Increase Turnout of Self-Identified Evangelical Christians by 5 to 7 Million New Voters of Faith

Faith & Freedom Coalition announced today its volunteers had knocked on 5,138,299 doors in the battleground states with one day to go before the 2020 election. This is five times the number of homes visited by the organization in 2016. 

The 5.14 million homes visited so far by FFC volunteers contain nearly 9 million voters, meaning the organization has personally touched one-third of all the modeled evangelical voters in the key states at their doors.  FFC has 1,000 paid staff on the ground and 1,885 volunteers. Home visits capture conversations with of actual voters, recording issue and candidate preferences, which are loaded into apps on smart phones carried by volunteers.  

Faith & Freedom has also mailed 32 million pieces of voter education mail, made 10 million GOTV phone calls, placed digital ads reaching 15.2 million modeled Christian voters in the battleground states, and distributed 30 million voter guides in over 127,000 churches.  In the closing days, Faith & Freedom has sent 4 to 5 million peer-to-peer text messages a day to Christian voters including a link to a Christian voter guide and software that directs voters to their polling location.

“This is the largest voter education effort aimed at voters of faith in modern American political history,” said Tim Head, executive director of Faith & Freedom Coalition. The organization projects 5 to 7 million new evangelical voters will cast ballots in 2020 compared to 2016.    

“My sons understand the importance of President Trump’s policies and their enthusiasm really lifts me up,” said Geovanna Lopez of Sahuarita, Arizona, who knocked on 362 doors in her neighborhood with her young sons, aged 10 and 12 years old.

“Encouraging Christians to go to the polls was my way of fighting for my children so they can grow up in the greatest country in the world,” said Rafaela Ramirez of Miramar, Florida.  Veronica Wagner of Miami added, “I have been able to show voters of faith the differences between the candidate platforms so they could cast an informed ballot.” 

Faith & Freedom projects it will make 183 million voter contacts by the time polls close on Election Day.  Evangelical Christians and faithful Roman Catholics are projected to total over one-third of the electorate.

FAITH & FREEDOM COALITION REACHES OVER 4 MILLION HOMES OF FAITH-BASED VOTERS

VOLUNTEERS HAVE VISITED FOUR MILLION HOMES WITH 7 DAYS LEFT BEFORE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

DULUTH, Ga. – With seven days remaining before the November 3 election, the Faith & Freedom Coalition voter education voter education program has reached nearly 80 million voters of faith in the most competitive states in the country, including 4,840,284 home visits.

Faith & Freedom Coalition’s home visit program is concentrated in 21 states, targeting mid-to-high propensity voters with a turnout score of 5 or above, as well as voters that data analytics have identified as evangelicals or Roman Catholics self-identifying as pro-life, pro-marriage and pro-family. Using a smartphone app that locates faith-based voters using mapping software and enhanced voter lists, a total of 1,500 volunteers and over 1,000 paid staff operating out of 39 field offices from California to Virginia are knocking on doors, passing out voter guides, hanging door hangers, and using customized scripts to interact with voters based on their specific issue burdens.

“The energy level for Christians across the country is at a fevered pitch. Early turnout numbers with a week to go before election day is at historic levels, and the faith vote is no exception. Our state and local leaders and volunteers are executing the largest Get-Out-The-Vote effort in modern-day history,” said Timothy Head, executive director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition. “In the year of institutional shutdowns and social distancing, home visits featuring personal interaction with actual voters are proving, once again, to be the most effective element of our program. We’ve figured out how to be safe for our staff and volunteers and respectful of voters’ concerns, while still showing our commitment to educate people on where candidates stand on issues most important to Christian voters. With seven days to go, we will keep our foot on the gas and finish strong in reaching every voter we can and get them to the polls.”

“This is the first campaign I get to vote in, and working with Faith & Freedom Coalition has really made it special,” said Carley DeRoche, a Michigan State University student in East Lansing, MI. “I’ve gotten to help the effort to knock on 250,000 doors to educate Christian voters in my state about what is at stake in this election. While I am a new voter, many of the volunteers say they have never seen such energy and turnout from people that share our values.”

Jake Neidert, a student at Baylor University in Waco, TX said, “I have been interested in politics for a long time and this was the first real opportunity where I felt like my beliefs and values matched up with an organization that could make a difference. It’s been incredible to see our team of 25 college students reach our campus and community in a way that I didn’t think was possible. The response has been so overwhelmingly positive.”

Faith & Freedom’s 2020 voter education program is the most ambitious effort directed at voters of faith in modern political history. To learn more about the Faith & Freedom Coalition, visit www.ffcoalition.com.
