canvasing, miles, miles, miles.

February 9th-

Today was a huge canvasing as we were trying to get to our goal of finishing the rest of our walk packets before the election! We were canvasing in Manch today and thankfully there was some sun outside so we did not freeze right away. The apartment style houses were interesting to figure out because we would walk up to the door and there are three different doorbells depending on which floor you needed to reach and we did not always know which floor they were in so that was quite difficult at times. Because of that we did not get many people to the door but we had a few which was always a happy moment! We decided to stop at an asian restaurant to have some warm soup after walking in the cold for so long but it took about an hour and a half to get our food which was unfortunate but we ate, got some more energy and kept walking! We ended up walking about 9 miles that day! crazy.

February 2nd Pizza Dinner

-
If there is one thing we would get used to being on the campaign trail is an endless amount of pizza! First night we got to New Hampshire we went to a pizza place in Merrimack to go over the weeks itinerary and get the time to discuss about our expectations and ask any questions. I enjoyed this night because it was the one and only relaxed night we really had. we ate pizza, salad and thoroughly discussed with our groups about our excitement to start this campaign trail. Fair to say day 1 was successful, aside from relatively freezing.

February 11th- Will never forget. Today is our last day on the campaign trail in NH. It is bittersweet. We woke up extremely early 5am, to head to our internship to get our last walk packet. We all went together this time to cherish the last canvasing day we would have together. We spoke with a lot of people this time and surprisingly there were many that did not know who they were to vote for. The responses we received were either they were voting for Biden or they are going to decide the second they see their ballot and vote. For me that was hard to hear as I was not sure what the thought process was when they see that ballot, what difference it will make at that time rather than a few days before. Either way we tried our hardest getting people to vote for Biden because now was the time. One person put a huge plant in front of their door so people would not bother them.  We then got picked up and drove all together with our campaign to the hotel where we had the elect...

Very first day waking up to be driven to our internship placements. I was so excited walking up to the front office and knocking on the door, it felt like a whole new experience was just about to begin. We were introduced by the Biden campaign supervisor Milton and then met the rest of the team, Tiffany, Sal, and Carrie. The first thing I noticed at the office was a cardboard cutout of Biden which excited all of us so of course we took tons of pictures! They had Joe written out of balloons above the stage in the office and decorations throughout the building. It was one of the biggest field offices I have seen and extremely well decorated! Once our excitement subsided and we stopped taking an insane amount of pictures, we were given our first assignments, canvasing! usually I would be more excited about canvasing but it was about 30 degrees out and I do not deal well with the cold. We were driven to a neighborhood in Manch which while walking around with Ireland for a few minutes ...
