Quote from the site:“Every Child Matters was founded on the premise that children and youth policy issues are of great concern to the public and that elections offer an important opportunity to educate the public and policy makers about the needs of children.In 2002, we ran our first campaign in Arkansas to test this proposition. We employed and refined the techniques that we have used in our campaigns since then, including polls, direct contact with the candidates, paid and earned media efforts, and public education and engagement campaigns. We conducted extensive public education campaigns during the presidential caucus in Iowa and the primary in New Hampshire.In 2003 and 2004, we conducted candidate and public education campaigns during the presidential caucus in Iowa and the primary in New Hampshire, including eight forums we hosted on children and youth issues featuring one hour each with the presidential candidates.Our evaluation showed significant increases in public awareness of children and youth issues and where the candidates stood on them after our work in Iowa and New Hampshire. For example, before-and-after-polling in Iowa showed that ,among parents with children under 18 in Iowa, the importance of the health, education, and protection of children increased significantly from May to January (from 62% to 81%). In May, more of these parents thought it was more important for the federal government to deal with the economy (71%). After the caucus, these parents thought the issue of children the most important, slightly higher than the economy (81% compared to 75%).”
