It's the Brian Lairn Show on WNYC. I'm Bridget Bergen, filling in for Brian today. And we're going to end today's show with calls from those of you who are going out and knocking on doors this weekend for your preferred

candidate. The weather is supposed to be basically perfect outside, so we want calls from

canvassers, regardless of party or position on the ballot. Listeners, have you gone door to door to

persuade your fellow voters to support a candidate ahead of election day? Maybe you've been canvassing in the swinging congressional districts in Long Island

or hopping a bus with friends to Pennsylvania.

Who are you campaigning for?

What motivated you to get involved in the political process beyond just voting?

The numbers 212-433 W-N-YC, that's 212-433-9692. And why do I ask, well, you know, in recent weeks,

we've been getting a lot of calls from those of you who are volunteering with presidential campaigns,

and in those calls, we get to learn a little bit about the people who will decide the outcome of this

incredibly consequential election.

You doorknockers are having crucial conversations with voters about issues that matter the most to them.

You may be the only political conversation those voters engage in before November 5th,

and your labor often goes unacknowledged, but you could be the reason an undecided voter makes up their mind.

So we want to know what kind of conversations you're having with people as you show up at their door with your clipboard in your hand, maybe your smartphone list.

You know, are there any particular issues that have been especially prominent in the hearts

and minds of those voters, whether it's maybe the first time you're volunteering with a campaign

or you're, you know, an experienced canvester, you do this all the time. We want to hear your

experiences going door to door in this election cycle. Again, that number, 212-433, W-N-Y-C. That's 212-433-9-6-9-2. You can call or text at that number.

And as we take your calls, I'm also thinking about listeners who feel particularly strongly about the

choice we're facing in this country, but maybe have not gotten involved in our political process beyond voting.

So, you know, for the sake of promoting small D, the Democratic involvement, what should first timers know about canvassing when they go to have that experience?
