We are so grateful to everyone who generously contributed your time and effort over the past year. We simply could not do what we do without our amazing volunteers and donors. Even though we are all still processing the election results and planning our path forward to the 2026 elections, we want you to know how much your continued support is appreciated.
Your efforts throughout 2024 resulted in some major accomplishments which position us to do even more in the coming year.
At the beginning of 2024, we opened our Election Headquarters and expanded our presence with the help of over 50 volunteers welcoming over 1100 unique visitors.
Over the spring, summer and fall the number of new volunteers grew to over 250. You wrote over 8700 postcards, made over 5800 calls to voters, sent over 64,000 text messages and knocked on over 2500 doors.
Throughout Early Voting in both the August and November elections, volunteers staffed an information table and raised awareness with voters
Over 550 people attended our many events including the Annual Dinner, Take Action Sundays, Candidate Meet & Greets, Ice Cream Socials, Debate and Election Night Watch Parties and Phone Bank and Postcard Writing parties.
You made new connections at the Blount and Knox Pride events, Women's Equality Day, and Spooktacular and Litter Pickups. Over 100 people showed up for our Get Out the Vote with TN Representative Gloria Johnson.
Your fundraising and merchandise donations provided the resources to let Blount County know Democrats are here and we are here to stay.
We’ve met lots of new Democrats in Blount County this year and have heard multiple testimonies about how empowering it is to connect with more like-minded people in the community. And that’s exactly what we plan to do - keep connecting people and reaching out to voters. So after a brief rest and recharge, let’s get back to the task of helping our community navigate the challenges and opportunities which lie ahead. We’re keeping the office open through 2025. We welcome your ideas, concerns and aspirations and help. Together we are making a difference!
Check our website for office hours and upcoming events. Join us on December 12 at 6:30pm for an open discussion about the election results and planning for the 2026 election.
