Mike Siegel
Political Director, Register2Vote

"I enjoyed working with Andrew Dysert in my 2018 campaign for Congress, which shocked many observers by narrowly missing an upset of a wealthy powerful incumbent. The campaign was successful because a powerful field team organized across nine large counties, and Andrew played an essential role as our rural field director. Andrew built new coalitions in communities where Democrats have rarely campaigned; he engaged first-time activists and equipped them with skills and structure. I trusted Andrew as my voice in those communities and was well-rewarded."
