Democrats roll out Local Listeners to re-engage infrequent voters ahead of 2026
The Democratic National Committee launched Local Listeners, a seven-week outreach program that trains 2,000 volunteers to contact more than one million infrequent voters in key battleground districts, aiming for at least 250,000 phone conversations and 50+ grassroots events by March to win back Biden 2020 voters who sat out in 2024 and shore up support ahead of the 2026 midterms. The effort emphasizes early, local outreach to rebuild trust and ballots amid a competitive political landscape.
