Case Studies

Real People, Real Campaigns, Real Results

To really see how the VAN revolutionizes the way campaigns are run, the best vantage point is from the trenches. It is in the day-to-day operations that the VAN has really been put to use. From North Carolina to Idaho, from Michigan to Oklahoma, the VAN is being used by a tremendous range of operations — political campaigns, organizing drives, and progressive canvassing — to serve a variety of needs.

The story of the VAN's birth in Iowa shows how the tool was used in tight races to launch Senator Harkin and Governor Vilsack to victory. The story of the VAN's use by America Coming Together shows how it was used in 2004 to fully synchronize a massive national canvassing operation in some of the biggest states in the country.
