Wisconsin Dems tout 16,000 volunteers signed on since Kamala Harris rose to top of ticket
MADISON – Wisconsin Democrats announced Thursday the party has worked with 16,000 new volunteers since Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the party's nominee last month.
The party also announced that, with the opening of two new offices in the liberal stronghold of Dane County, Democrats now have 50 coordinated campaign offices in 43 counties, with more than 250 full-time staff and more than 500,000 doors knocked since the Biden-to-Harris shift.
Democrats have always understood the importance of Dane County, longtime Democratic strategist and senior adviser to the Harris campaign Tanya Bjork told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel — but that importance has only grown year after year as the population and Democratic vote share continue to increase.
Harris was scheduled to hold a rally early in the evening in Madison on Friday. Her return to Wisconsin is part of a swing through "blue wall" battleground states including Pennsylvania and Michigan.
