DNC kicks off voter registration blitz, unveils new campaign playbook ahead of midterms
The Democratic National Committee kicked off a new campaign Monday to ensure new voters who register in Virginia are people who align with the party’s ethos.
It’s the first time the DNC has done on-the-ground partisan voter registration during a midterm year in Virginia, rather than supporting general registration efforts. The events will begin at University of Virginia in Albemarle County and James Madison University in Harrisonburg. Further events are anticipated in the coming weeks.
Echoing a refrain he made when the organization poured millions into Virginia’s state-level elections last year, DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a release: “When you organize everywhere, you can win anywhere.”
College campuses are sites where new voters may be engaging in the democratic process for the first time. National nonprofits and local college campus organizations have long targeted these spaces to persuade newly-franchised voters to back their priorities or candidates.
