Campaign Sidekick is a mobile app designed for the canvassing aspect of political campaigns. Its cumbersome rigidity, and general inability to be modified to fit circumstance such as slow Internet,[1][2] has been critiqued by members of Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign's ground game, particularly in their GOTV efforts for so-called low-propensity voters in the vital swing state of Pennsylvania.[3] Turning Point Action has chosen to use their own app in Arizona, Wisconsin, parts of Michigan given that everything has to entered manually in off-line 'walk books" in Campaign Sidekick. In February 2020 is was revealed that the internal app code was publicly accessible on their website.[4]
The firm is based in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, and works with the GOP in general and in particular directly with Republican campaigns.[5] In the vast majority of deployments there have been no issues.
