UNITE HERE, the union of hospitality workers, helped turn out record numbers of voters in the 2022 midterm elections to elect Democrats in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia, hitting 2.7 million doors this year with 1200+ canvassers in these key battleground states. Already we’re seeing this work pay off in places like Pennsylvania.
Now that the Georgia Senate race is going to a runoff on December 6, UNITE HERE is standing up a major program in Georgia in partnership with other allies to re-elect Senator Raphael Warnock.
We’ve done it before!
With the support of funders like you, UNITE HERE built a team of 1,100 canvassers—union housekeepers, cooks, dishwashers and more—who joined Stacey Abrams in 2020-21 to help the runoff races and win a Senate majority for Democrats. We knocked on over 1.6 million doors as part of a larger 10 million-knock statewide effort to get out the vote for Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, running the largest union field program in Georgia.
UNITE HERE: Delivering the Door-to-Door Capacity Needed to Win the Runoff in 2022
Winning the December 6 Georgia runoff will require a bold and rigorous campaign. We will deploy between 500 UNITE HERE canvassers in the field who will knock on 560,000 doors between November 15 and December 6. These will be seasoned, skilled canvassers coming from months of door-to-door work in the battleground states of Georgia, Nevada, Arizona and Pennsylvania.
