The National Field Program is focused on four types of data for the 2019 Campaign:
This data will be collected by your team through the use of door-to-door canvassing, phone banks, local events, website forms, and many other in-person and online interactions. As you collect this data and input it into Liberalist, you expand your campaign’s universe of potential voters, donors, and volunteers.
The National Field Program will be creating standard scripts for your team to use when you canvass door-to-door or by phone however you do have the ability to create your own custom scripts to utilize these new data types.

Contact Information
Collecting cellphone numbers and email addresses are the top priorities for political campaigns for good reason.

Your scripts can also make specific asks to ensure the contact information is collected by your team.
