How do you turn a 60% YES vote into a 80% NO vote?

Before

During our first poll we saw that without a "NO" campaign, Initiative 300 would have passed with 60% support. Much of this was due to the misleading language of the initiative. We knew we had a serious job ahead, educating voters about the negative effects 300 would have on the City of Denver.

​

After

When all of the votes were tallied, NO on 300 had won more than 81% of the vote -- extraordinary. Almost 146,000 Denverites voted NO on the initiative, stating that allowing people to camp in public spaces is not safe or humane for people experiencing homelessness or the surrounding community.

​

This victory was a total team effort, from outstanding campaign management to an aggressive field strategy. Our work on digital was a key component of the execution of such a successful campaign.
