Monday

Monday, we went to Pete’s headquarters in Manchester. We had training where we learned how to phone bank and how to canvas. I had never done either before. I have to admit I was a little nervous in the beginning, but then I realized the worst that can happen is they hang up on me or say a few mean words. Nothing I can’t handle! At night we all met at Margaritas, a Mexican restaurant in Salem, NH. We had a taco bar for dinner and churros for dessert. We also called someone that was at the Iowa caucus while watching it on TV. I never understood why Iowa was so hyped up in the media and after watching it I now understand. It is intense and it is a little climatic watching the people trying to convince voters that have to pick a different candidate because they didn’t get more than 15% of the vote.

Tuesday night was absolutely amazing. I did poll visibility with all my new friends from the campaign. Then we all went to Nashua Community College to watch the results from the New Hampshire Primary come in. Every time Pete went up in delegates the room went wild. He had an amazing speech and it was a once in a lifetime experience being there cheering on my candidate. This trip has truly been the best ten days of my life.

Tuesday Morning

Tuesday is the day that we had been working towards all week and a half. We woke up before the crack of dawn around 5 AM. We drove all the way to Hopkinton High School which was a polling location that Pete was planning to visit at 7 AM. I’m so glad we were able to make it because I was able to get a selfie with him and he brought us donuts!   Next, we went to Dunkin Donuts and on our way out of town we spotted this cute, covered bridge. JSM wanted to take a picture so we pulled over. While trying to take the picture a nice gentleman pulled over to offer to take the picture for us. I asked him if he was planning on voting and he said “yes”. When I asked who he was voting for he told me he was undecided. So, I told him a little about Pete and I got his phone number and sent him videos of Pete speaking from the rally the night before in Nashua. After getting to the Manchester office we got to work on the phones calling to see if people had a plan for getting to

This trip has been absolutely amazing and life-changing! I'm so lucky that I was selected to be a part of this crazy intense 10 days. I'm sad to leave New Hampshire and all the new friends and connections I made. But I am also excited to get to work back in Florida. The fight isn't even close to over yet. I'm ready to make phone calls and knock on doors to GOTV for Pete! I am so proud of Pete winning Iowa and tying Bernie in New Hampshire. The future of our country hangs in the balance of this election; I'm so grateful to be a part of the movement!
