Progressive Turnout Project Launches Voter Turnout Program in Iowa’s Third Congressional District
Organization plans to spend more than $350,000 in race to replace David Young

WINDSOR HEIGHTS— Progressive Turnout Project (PTP) will spend more than $350,000 on a comprehensive voter-turnout program ahead of the November election. The organization will send Field Representatives door-to-door to talk with inconsistent Democratic voters about the importance of the race and why they should commit to vote for Democrat Cindy Axne.
“When voter turnout is high, Democrats win elections,” said Executive Director Alex Morgan. “Our team will be pounding the pavement every day between now and November 6 to replace David Young.”
The organization has an office based in Windsor Heights and 11 staff members who will canvass the district throughout the summer and fall.
“Face-to-face conversations are proven to be the most effective way to get out the vote,” said Morgan. “Our team is trained to focus on engaging in quality conversations with likely Democrats to ensure those voters have their voice heard in the next election.”
Iowa’s third congressional district is one of Progressive Turnout Project’s 18 target districts. The organization announced an $8 million program investment ahead of the November 6 election. Democrats need to flip 23 districts to take back control of the House of Representatives.
