Weiser Campaign Knocks 18,000 Doors, Reaches 25,000 Voters Before June 30 Primary

Summary

  • More than 18,000 doors have been knocked and over 25,000 Coloradans contacted by Phil Weiser volunteers in the final week of Colorado’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, according to his campaign.
  • Hundreds of grassroots supporters are driving the get-out-the-vote push as Weiser heads into the June 30 contest and plans additional canvass events across the state.
  • Nate Jackson, a Weiser campaign spokesperson, cast the race as a contrast between a “people-powered” effort and rival Michael Bennet’s support from a Super PAC backed by out-of-state billionaires, corporations and dark money.
  • The release underscores Weiser’s closing argument that volunteer organizing can counter late outside spending and attack ads in the final days of the primary.
