2024 Door Knocking Deployments

We’re going door-to-door in some of the most competitive districts this cycle. Join us!

NY-17

October 25-27 | NYC suburbs

New York’s 17th Congressional District is located in the suburbs of New York City and is currently being defended by a Republican Congressman Mike Lawler who is a member of the RNC’s Youth Advisory Council with our National Chairman. This is D+3 district is extremely competitive, and the outcome will certainly come down to turnout.

Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District covers the southeastern corner of Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District runs along the southwestern edge of the state and includes Eau Claire, La Crosse, and the suburbs of the Twin Cities (MN).

FAQs

  • Here's the rough outline of activities. Detailed itineraries specific to each deployment will be sent to registrants a couple of days in advance.

    Friday. You’re responsible for getting yourself there, but travel reimbursements are available. We’ll provide dinner and likely have a few activities in the evening like making calls, stuffing envelopes, or assembling yard signs. You’ll check into your hotel room (provided by CRNC) that you’ll be sharing with another College Republican of the same sex.

    Saturday. We’ll get up bright and early, eat some breakfast and have a quick kickoff. Everyone will receive training and education so they are fully prepared to engage with voters at the door. Once everyone is feeling confident, we will head out to knock on doors. We’ll take a break for lunch then head back out for a second shift of knocking on doors. After that, we’ll gather again for dinner and prizes. The evening will be free time you can use as you please.

    Sunday. The Sunday schedule varies by region, but there will be one final shift of knocking on doors on Sunday.

    If you’re not available for the full weekend of events, you’re welcome to join us for any portion! There are 3 shifts of door knocking (Saturday AM, Saturday PM, and Sunday), and you're welcome to join for any or all of them..

    If you're staying in a hotel room provided by the CRNC, you will be expected to participate in all of the activities.
