CAMPAIGN SNAPSHOT Reviewed general election returns for 2012, 2010, and 2006 but primarily focused
on 2012 because this was the first election after congressional redistricting became official.
Focused on Fairfax and Loudoun Counties due to high voter turnout.
Targeted competitive precincts that represented favorable opportunities for Bread’s message to positively impact voter behavior.
GR created literature specific to VA-10.
Lit drops and canvassing started October 21st GR VA-10 fact sheet.
