Conservative Group Adopts Obama's Community Organizing Strategy For 2024 Election

One conservative group in Wisconsin is adopting a strategy reminiscent of former President Barack Obama to bolster Republican chances in the 2024 presidential election. Turning Point Action, led by National Enterprise Director Brett Galaszewski, is focusing on grassroots organizing at the ward level to mobilize support.

The group's approach involves neighbors engaging with each other, emphasizing the value of personal connections over interactions with strangers. Galaszewski highlighted the effectiveness of this community organizing model, drawing parallels to Obama's emphasis on the same strategy during his 2008 campaign.

Despite initial skepticism from conservatives towards Obama's community organizing background, Turning Point Action believes that this approach will be pivotal in the upcoming election.

Recognizing the importance of Wisconsin in the electoral landscape, Turning Point Action has launched an extensive ground game operation in the state, aiming to complement the Republican Party's efforts. This initiative is particularly crucial given the financial gap between the Trump campaign and Democratic fundraising.

Instead of a mass door-knocking campaign, Turning Point Action is targeting specific individuals, particularly disengaged and low-propensity conservative voters. By focusing on mobilizing these overlooked segments of the electorate, the group aims to boost Republican turnout in Wisconsin.

Galaszewski emphasized that the goal is not to persuade swing voters but to activate those who may undervalue their votes. By honing in on these voters, Turning Point Action hopes to secure a Republican victory through strategic voter engagement.

With hundreds of ballot-chasers deployed across Wisconsin, including salaried employees dedicated to this effort, Turning Point Action is committed to maximizing conservative voter turnout in the state.
