MDP Surpasses 1 Million Voter Contact Attempts Ahead of Election Day

Augusta, Maine – With just two weeks until Election Day, the Maine Democratic Party’s coordinated campaign has surpassed 1 million voter contact attempts, marking a major milestone for the largest coordinated campaign in Maine history.

In just 11 weeks, MDP has built a statewide organizing operation spanning all 16 counties, reaching voters through door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, and community organizing.

The campaign is also running a robust relational organizing program, hosting 14 volunteer-led house parties in support of Troy Jackson in just one month, along with more than 16 debate watch parties, potlucks, and volunteer appreciation events statewide. The campaign has also launched a campus organizing program with fellows at key colleges across Maine to engage young voters ahead of Election Day.

“Surpassing one million voter contact attempts is a testament to the energy and enthusiasm we’re seeing from Mainers across the state,” said Maine Democratic Party Coordinated Campaign Director Kayla vanWieringen. “We’re training hundreds of volunteer leaders who are stepping up to lead organizing efforts in their own communities. These leaders aren’t just helping us elect Democrats up and down the ballot this year — they’re building the foundation for Democratic victories in Maine for years to come. Together, we’ve built the robust, multifaceted organizing operation it will take to finally defeat Susan Collins, and we’re ready to win on Election Day.”

Since launching, the coordinated campaign has reached the following milestones:

  • Made more than one million total voter contact attempts

  • Made more than 230,000 door attempts

  • Made more than 790,000 direct calls to voters

  • Surpassed more than 18,000 volunteer shift signups

  • Trained 290+ volunteer leaders

  • Knocked doors in 243 towns across Maine

  • Opened 25 field offices across all 16 counties
