Washington, D.C. – VAN, the voter contact and volunteer management tool by NGP VAN, continued to provide a technology advantage to Democrats and progressives across the country in 2013. The VAN helped candidates in swing states like Virginia win close races over Republicans by powering a larger and more efficient field and Get Out The Vote program. The VAN was widely acknowledged as helping to power President Obama’s superior voter contact and volunteer management programs during the 2008 and 2012 campaigns.
