What Door-Knocking looks like

  • You’ll knock doors in Dane County Supervisor District 12

  • You’ll introduce the campaign and listen to what matters to residents

  • You’ll leave a palm card (we provide materials)

  • You’ll be paired up if it’s your first time

No arguing. No pressure. Just respectful neighbor-to-neighbor conversations.

  • A charged phone

  • A friendly, steady spirit

We provide: script, map/walk list, and materials.

Safety and respect are non-negotiable

We canvass in pairs or small groups. We respect “no soliciting” signs and skip any situation that doesn’t feel safe.

Our standard:

  • Be polite and brief

  • If someone isn’t interested, thank them and move on

  • We don’t debate at doors

Quick training—no experience needed

Each shift starts with a 10-minute walkthrough:

  • What to say (script)

  • What to do if someone has questions

  • When to skip a door

  • How to log notes
