As someone with years in the field, I’ve seen firsthand the tireless, often unrecognized work that goes into every election. Campaign staff, volunteers, and election workers are the unsung heroes who make democracy possible, braving countless challenges just to keep us informed and engaged. With increasing obstacles to reaching voters, their dedication is more critical than ever. Join me in thanking these warriors for democracy, who, with patience and grit, keep our democratic experiment moving forward. Their work deserves our gratitude—and perhaps a bit more understanding.
