WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced Delaware’s D2H Victory campaign, a critical component in the RNC’s Delaware to Hawaii (“D2H”) strategy to compete aggressively in all fifty states.  Through this program, the RNC and the Delaware Republican Party are building the in-state campaign structure to support Republican candidates with funding for staff and offices, state-of-the-art voter contact technologies, and improved voter identification capacity through access to the RNC’s vast database of voter information.

By enhancing the Delaware GOP’s ability to effectively reach and communicate with voters, Republican candidates across the state will benefit from increased energy during the campaign and with turnout efforts in November.  This investment will strengthen Republican campaign operations across Delaware by expanding the strategic political resources available to Republican candidates, party leaders, and activists from across the state.   

“The Delaware Republican Party has built an unprecedented campaign operation this cycle and this partnership with the RNC will push us across the goal line to victory in November,” said RNC Chairman Michael Steele. “This investment provides the tools and resources to build on our Republican momentum and send a clear message to the White House that an endless reliance on growing government to create jobs has failed.”      

“The resources that the RNC is providing will amplify the Republican message and motivate voters to get to the ballot box,” said Tom Ross, Chairman of the Delaware Republican Party. “Mike Castle, Michele Rollins, and our team of Republican candidates are offering Delawareans leadership that protects them from a massive expansion of government while offering policies that promote innovation, the entrepreneurial spirit, and job creation. Delaware’s D2H Victory campaign is unprecedented in its size and scope and I am very excited about its potential to attract thousands of volunteers and supporters.”

In 2009, the RNC Victory program made 5.8 million voter contacts and put in 165,715 volunteer hours, resulting in victories across the country.  In total, last year Republicans won 26 of 37 special elections and played a major role in more than 30 successful races.  In 2010, we have put 290 staffers on the ground with 264 offices opened, and to date have made more than 5 million voter contact calls.  The RNC is building on this success with strategic investments in key states like Delaware that will help deliver Republican victories in November.
