Single digit temperatures were not a deterrent for going to door-to-door for Nels Ackerson and friend, campaign volunteer Mary Grabianowski. Mary teaches at Zionsville High School and is faculty advisor for the Young Democrats Club. Nels and Mary worked together on Sen. Birch Bayh’s staff. (Sen. Bayh is Honorary Chairman of the campaign.)

In spite of the chilly day the pair met with a warm reception from local residents. Homeowners were a bit surprised, given the weather, but quickly responded to the opportunity to learn more about Nels’ campaign.

Students from Zionsville High School’s Young Democrats club had canvassed the neighborhood earlier in the week, braving cold temperatures and snow to invite people to an open house at campaign headquarters.
