Yard signs, from the first request to the last pickup.

Field Hog is campaign field software, starting with yard signs. It sorts sign requests into delivery routes, gives each volunteer a phone link for their route, and shows organizers what is left. It ran the yard signs for a Minnesota House race in 2026.

What it does

Screens are from the demo. Every name, address and phone number in them is made up.

Every request in one list

Sign requests from the website, from events and from phone calls land in one list. Field Hog sorts them into delivery routes on its own.

Anything it can't place goes to a short queue for an organizer to decide: possible duplicates, addresses the map can't find, and addresses outside the district.

Organizers see each route's progress, can find any sign by name, address or phone, and can print route sheets with a map and a checklist.

The organizer view: counts of signs needing a decision, to deliver and delivered, a Find a sign search, and a queue with a possible duplicate, an address the map could not find, and an address outside the district. — The organizer view, with the needs-a-decision queue.

A link for each volunteer, no login

A volunteer opens a link on their phone. They see the next stop, tap once for directions, and mark it Delivered or Declined.

At any stop they can leave a note for the organizers, such as "nobody home, left it by the door." The organizer view updates as they go.

Pickup, street by street

After the election the same app ran the sign pickup. The district was split into 18 areas, and each driver got a map of every street in theirs.

Each area map glows orange where signs are (the phone at the top of this page). Streets turn green as drivers cover them, and organizers watch all 18 areas fill in on one map.

The demo is a copy of the Jen Fox case study. It uses sample voter data and made-up households, so you can tap anything without changing a real record.

Also built for this campaign, and in the demo: a team site, a State of the Race brief and an election night results screen.
