Petition Gathering
With over 15 years of experience in petition gathering, we know what it takes to collect the signatures you need for your candidate or issue.
Validity
Groundswell produces petition signatures with a high validity rate. With our signature validation program, we can work with your team to internally validate your signatures so that you know you are on pace to reach your goals.
One-stop-shop
Melanie Gann, the owner of Groundswell is an official notary public. This means you will not have to worry about getting packets notarized. All petition books will be submitted to your campaign, ready to hand in to the elections division. Melanie has been gathering petitions for over 15 years in Colorado and is well versed in petitioning laws and regulations.
Recruit and hire the best canvassers
We know that your image is important, so our canvassers come from a personal network of over 15 years of working in management in the canvassing industry. We are proud to pay our employees and contractors a living wage, higher than other canvassing companies. This eliminates problems with unreliable and unprofessional employees, and we retain employees and contractors from year to year who have great knowledge of issues important to Colorado voters.
Ongoing trainings and tight-knit management
At Groundswell, everyone — even the owner — will pound the pavement. This means that there will be a consistent pulse taken on the campaign, which will lead to higher signature gathering and validity rates.
Daily reporting and tracking
Clients will receive daily reports from Groundswell on how many petition signatures were gathered. Qualitative feedback can be given, along with any other information requested by the client. We will keep a detailed log about which canvasser submitted which packet, on which date, if any future questions should arise.
Ongoing campaign
We hope you use us for persuasion canvassing and for GOTV! We understand how to transition the petition effort into winning your race once you get on the ballot.
