I read that Iowans would not like out of state volunteers knocking on their doors. Seems if a bad idea the Cruz team would know this.
What do you think? (and thanks for your service)!!!!!
It’s essential that Iowa residents with strong ties to the county/community call the shots on personal contacts with local voters. Part of a smart campaign operation with a great ground game, especially in a caucus campaign, is knowing what will, and will not, be well received by the intended audience. The data-driven aspect comes into play in knowing which issue(s) are most likely important to a voter personally contacted. We don’t want to waste their time and aggravate them in the process. Out of state volunteers will work in the background when appropriate. Of the 2000+ Cruz volunteers, volunteers from Texas number around 500 that will travel to and from Iowa between now and Feb 1. I expect significantly fewer than 500 from Texas will be in Iowa at any given time.
