Seen / Answerable
Signs are seen.Personal messages can be answered.
A sign broadcasts. A personal message makes room for a response.
A premium relational GOTV program
Yard signs don’t vote. But people who text their friends do.
Porch Politics helps campaigns coordinate texts that matter: personal messages from volunteers to people they actually know, with measurable follow-through and no uploaded blast list.
Visibility gets a glance.
Trust makes a reply possible.
Porch Politics helps campaigns create the conditions for a real conversation.
The difference is trust
A sign can show a name. A friend can say why.
Political messages are everywhere. Personal context is rare. When someone hears from a person they already know, they can ask a question, disagree, or keep talking.
That is not another impression. It is a relationship doing real work.
Reach / Relationship
Campaigns need reach.People respond to relationships.
Porch Politics turns the trust already inside a community into respectful, measurable action.
The overlooked channel
A powerful voice in politics may already be in their phone.
Not a blast list.
Not a mystery number.
A real person they know.
From campaign ask to personal action
Give every volunteer a clear reason to reach out now.
The campaign sets the moment and the message. Volunteers decide who they know, what they want to say, and whether to send it.
-
01
The campaign creates a timely ask.
Yard signs today. Early voting next week. Election Day when it counts.
-
02
The volunteer makes it personal.
They choose someone they genuinely know and adapt the message in their own voice.
-
03
The phone does the sending.
Porch Politics opens the phone’s own Messages app. The volunteer reviews and taps send.
-
04
The campaign learns what comes next.
Volunteers submit structured follow-up—like support, questions, or yard-sign interest.

Volunteers report what they heard. Porch Politics never scans their address book, never chooses who they text, and never uses selected contacts to send campaign messages.

Your next yard sign can stand still. Your volunteers don’t have to.
Put your campaign in the hands of people voters already know.
