FreedomWorks/Citizens for a Sound Economy Election Education Effort Connects in North Carolina

As North Carolinians wrap up the election today, it is likely they’ve heard from FreedomWorks. That’s because FreedomWorks is wrapping up a massive education drive that reached across the state as part of the FreedomWorks Get Out the Vote (GOTV) campaign.

The North Carolina GOTV effort was part of a national campaign that employed good old fashioned “shoe leather” politics. A standing army of North Carolina GOTV political volunteers conducted rallies, literature drops, phone tree call-downs, and door to door efforts that reached tens of thousands of homes.

Armed with door hangers and informational leaflets, FreedomWorks activists used grassroots tactics to differentiate candidates who have pledged to support economic freedom from those who haven’t. These North Carolina GOTV efforts emphasized the Presidential race, the Bowles-Burr U.S. Senate race, the Gubernatorial race, and a number of key U.S. House and state legislative races.

FreedomWorks/CSE NC Director Allen Page commented:

“We educated North Carolina citizens on candidates for the local courthouse all the way to the White House. FreedomWorks/CSE and our state and federal Scorecards and Candidate Surveys effectively differentiated where each candidate stood on key tax and economic growth issues. By the time we finished, I have no doubt that North Carolina’s citizens had the information they needed to make an informed choice. I’d like to thank all of our volunteers for their hard work, and a job well done.”
