WE WON! Thank you to all who donated :)
19 February 2020Dearest friends,
We won! They tried their hardest to rob us of the victory narrative but we won anyway. And now we've won New Hampshire, and it's onward to Nevada, South Carolina, and Super Tuesday.
Please excuse the lateness of my final update - the last few days before the caucus were absolute madness, and I've only just caught my breath. I knocked on hundreds of doors, not only in Des Moines but also in Fort Dodge, Iowa City, and Boone. Everywhere we went we met many Bernie supporters, and plenty of Pete supporters of course (a couple of which I may have swayed to Bernie on Medicare For All and climate change alone). On caucus night, I drove a group of Bhutanese immigrants from Des Moines to their caucus location. The campaign had done amazing organized outreach to immigrant communities across Iowa and it paid off big time. That caucus site went entirely for Bernie - some 95% of people for Bernie in the first round, and only Bernie was viable in the final count. We're gonna win because we're gonna out-organize the rest!!
Thank you all so much for making this adventure possible! I learned a ton and I know for a fact that my door knocking -- made possible by your donations! -- made a direct impact on the results.
Much love,
Dylan
P. S. Here's me and the West Des Moines field office crew on our final day!
