The summer almost over, but my research is far from completed. I have had a great experience this summer and I plan to continue my research into the school year. So far, I have gotten access to volunteer records from the Democratic Party of Virginia, written a survey and gotten it approved by the PHSC, distributed the survey to former campaign volunteers, and started analyzing the results.
Change Over Time

Over the past several days, I’ve continued to explore my data and to look for new and interesting things in the network. I am especially interested in how the campaign network changed over time and whether it grew. Network growth and maintenance is especially important for political campaigns because a politician needs an effective grassroots network not just once, but every time he or she runs for reelection. Maintaining network connections can save a lot of organizational effort.
