Voters don’t talk in cable news sound bites. They talk about the food bank running low, the cost of raising a kid, and the feeling that no one in power is fighting for them.

When you really listen, those stories hit you: people aren’t asking for perfection. They’re asking to be taken seriously.
November 30, 2025 at 10:15 PM
In Ground Truth’s early canvasses, two-thirds of people stayed to talk for 10–15 minutes—even many who don’t vote for Democrats.

Why? Because someone finally showed up to listen. Those conversations might not flip a vote tomorrow, but they rebuild trust that can reshape districts over time.

It’s easy to think the country is too divided to talk. But when you show up with curiosity instead of a script, people open the door.

Neighbors still want to be heard. That’s where trust starts.

Organizing is an act of optimism, and we are so thankful to be among this community of optimists, especially in this moment.

Thank you for everything you do to move our country forward.

Trump and Republicans aren’t unbeatable—we just proved that this fall. Now we have a real shot to flip the House for Democrats in 2026 and put a check on the MAGA agenda.

But we still have a lot of trust to rebuild with voters.

One of the quiet failures of our politics is how many people get skipped—skipped in the data, skipped in outreach, skipped in the story we tell about the country.

If we want a stronger democracy, we have to stop treating whole neighborhoods like they don’t matter.

Thank you to @tamarakeithnpr.bsky.social and @npr.org for highlighting Ground Truth — our year-round effort to knock every door in swing districts and truly listen to what voters are experiencing, regardless of how they typically vote.
November 25, 2025 at 11:59 PM
Delegate-elect @jess4va.com knocked every door she could in her VA state house district—and the day before Election Day, a conservative voter wrote her a message that they disagreed on every policy, but by showing up to listen, she had earned his vote.

Tommy Vietor admitted what a lot of folks feel: canvassing can feel awkward—showing up at a stranger’s door, not knowing how they’ll react, hoping it’s worth your time.

Ground Truth flips that experience.

“Winning power is about math, and we have to win majorities. We need to be more ruthlessly pragmatic than we ever have been.” – Yasmin Radjy, Swing Left Executive Director

This is the moment to ensure our collective action makes the biggest difference possible.

With this past election behind us, our work for 2026 kicks into high gear now.

We’re less than a year out from the midterms. Recently, Swing Left volunteers were out knocking doors in swing districts (like Iowa’s 3rd!) to win back the House.
November 21, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Across swing districts, voters are telling us the same thing: the system isn’t working for them.

Ground Truth volunteers are hearing it firsthand at every door.

On Dec 9, we’re sharing what else those conversations reveal—and why they matter for flipping the House.

Ground Truth provides a new way to listen, learn, and engage voters to help Democrats win elections.

“Ground Truth helps rebuild trust in our institutions.” - Rep. @gene4va.bsky.social (VA-07)

Showing up early, listening closely, and treating every voter as worth the conversation—that’s how Democrats can win elections and build a stronger democracy.

“Upstate New York has a deep tradition of folks looking out for one another—and that’s exactly what Ground Truth is all about.”

Rep. Josh Riley (NY-19) is right & the Swing Left community is already having one-on-one conversations to connect with swing district voters and help flip the House.
November 18, 2025 at 9:45 PM
During our first Ground Truth canvass, a voter answered the door saying, “I’m a Republican—you’re not going to want to talk to me.”

Us: “Actually, you’re exactly who we want to talk to.”

Listening without lecturing and treating each other like neighbors—that’s Ground Truth.

The best insights don’t come from polls—they come from the front porch.

That’s how Rep. Derek Tran (CA-45) approaches learning from voters & it’s the spirit behind our Ground Truth program. By listening deeply across every neighborhood with Ground Truth, we gain insights no poll could provide.

We can't take our foot off the gas if we want to replicate this year’s Election Day wins at scale in the '26 midterms.

That’s why we’re expanding Ground Truth to swing districts nationwide—our most ambitious program ever to transform how Democrats connect with voters, rebuild trust & win elections.
