Hear From Our Politrippers
Read testimonials from our Politrippers below:
Immersing myself in crucial mid-term elections was a once in a lifetime opportunity and one I wasn't going to let go by
One thing i've enjoyed the most is the contact with voters on the doors, learning about the local issues and hearing about them from poeple directly.
Politrip will be a really unique thing to discuss in interviews and will enable me to stand out more from other candidates
