Local opinion: How organizing won CD7 and what national pundits got wrong
We were the first organization in this race to endorse, knock on doors, and invest in reaching voters at scale. LUCHA knocked on over 26,000 doors, supported partners in their televised ads, and spent more than a quarter million dollars to make sure voters heard directly from people they trust.
