| Desc | ELECTION PROGRAM & CIVIC EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT THE COMMITTEE OF SEVENTY GREATLY INCREASED OUR OUTREACH AND EDUCATION EFFORTS AROUND THE MAY PRIMARY AND NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTIONS. FROM CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS AND FORUMS, TO A NEW APP THAT PUT ALL OF OUR ELECTION DAY RESOURCES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS, WE EXPERIENCED RECORD-BREAKING LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT WITH PHILADELPHIANS THIS YEAR. AT A TIME WHEN ALL NEWS IS SEEMINGLY NATIONAL, AND VERY LITTLE TO NO COVERAGE IS GIVEN TO STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS, SEVENTY HAS DEDICATED PROGRAMMING AND RESOURCES TO MAKING THE CASE FOR WHY HARRISBURG MATTERS, EVEN HOSTING AN EVENT BY THAT TITLE. RECENT RETIREMENTS HAVE CAUSED THE PHILADELPHIA DELEGATION TO LOSE OVER 80 YEARS OF SENIORITY IN THE LEGISLATURE. THE COMPETITIVE RACES FOR THESE OPEN SEATS PROVIDED US AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF HARRISBURG IN SOLVING CRITICAL ISSUES IN PHILADELPHIA, AND TO INTRODUCE A WIDE AUDIENCE TO THE CANDIDATES AND THEIR POSITIONS. THROUGH A SERIES OF SPECIAL EDITIONS OF SEVENTYS PODCAST, 20 BY SEVENTY, CANDIDATES SPOKE WITH CEO DAVID THORNBURGH TO MAKE THEIR CASE TO VOTERS. SEVENTY ALSO PARTNERED WITH AL DA NEWS TO HOST A CANDIDATE FORUM IN THE 197TH DISTRICT IN THE LARGELY HISPANIC SECTION OF NORTH PHILADELPHIA. SEVENTYS ONLINE VOTER ENGAGEMENT EXPANDED AND BECAME MORE REFINED IN 2018. THE ORGANIZATIONS NOW WELL-KNOWN VOTER GUIDE WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE A THREE QUESTION SURVEY GIVEN TO EVERY CANDIDATE AND IT ATTRACTED MORE VISITORS: 71,000 LEADING UP TO THE NOVEMBER ELECTION MORE THAN IN ANY PRIOR YEAR. SEVENTY ALSO CONTINUED USE OF ITS DIGITAL BALLOT TOOL, AN INNOVATIVE RESOURCE THAT WAS COMPLEMENTED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEVOTE APP TO BRING THE TOOL TO USERS PHONES. SEVENTY PROMOTED THESE ITEMS HEAVILY VIA EMAIL (18,000+ USERS), FACEBOOK (6,700+ FOLLOWERS) AND TWITTER (8,450+ FOLLOWERS), INCLUDING PAID BOOSTS TARGETING CITY RESIDENTS AGED 18 TO 65+. | Desc |
