Washington Post: In Nevada, a midterm clash between newfound Republican organization and organized Democrats’ renewed enthusiasm

The Culinary Union Local 226 is the dominant political force in the state, with 57,000 members, and on a recent weekday it was buzzing with activity.

Every day but Sunday, about 200 union members canvass from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. They go in bilingual teams, clad in red shirts and knocking on doors of inconsistent voters, pleading with them to get to the polls this time.

“The RNC can staff up all they want. We’ve been in this for 83 years,” said Bethany Khan, spokeswoman for the culinary union. “The long-term investment of protecting our community is there — and it’s not funded by billionaires.”
