Takeaways The Republican National Committee (RNC) plays a crucial role in organizing grassroots efforts and providing a game plan for success in elections. Direct voter contact, including door knocking and phone calls, is still relevant and necessary to understand voters' concerns and motivations. The 2020 election will likely be a mobilization game, with a focus on mobilizing the base and getting out the vote. There is a small percentage of undecided voters, but the majority of the electorate has already made up their minds. Both the Trump and Biden campaigns should focus on mobilizing their respective bases and ensuring high voter turnout. There is a possibility of another surprising election outcome, similar to the 2016 election. The intensity of support for Trump and Biden differs, with Trump having stronger support from his base and Biden having a stronger intensity of hatred towards Trump. Campus protests and the divide between old school liberals and the woke left could impact the election. Technology, such as Campaign Sidekick, plays a crucial role in political campaigns and is constantly evolving. Drew Ryun's background in running and his love for golf.

If you've ever been involved in a political campaign - whether as a block walker, campaign manager, or even a candidate (or anywhere in between!) - you've probably experienced a certain degree of... campaign chaos. It's hard to anticipate all the challenges coming at us on the campaign trail... and even harder to put future systems in place to solve them when we have fires to put out NOW. I've encountered plenty of these unexpected obstacles lately on Larry Sharpe's campaign, and thankfully, my college-buddy-turned-campaign-coaching-rockstar Raz Shafer came to the epic rescue with some easy solutions for our rapidly growing team.
