In 2018 we held two retreats simultaneously, in
- Carson City, NV (Senate race); and
- Hanford (near Fresno, CA-21)
Altogether nearly 60 people participated, and put in over 360 person-days of volunteer work. In Hanford, the Democratic candidate won election by less than 900 votes, so our participation may very well have decided the race in his favor.
Here is a quick history of our past retreats:
