Our Programs

If you care about your local community and want to create a change, we can help you run for office.

Candidate Recruitment

We’re leaving tens of thousands of elections uncontested every year. We are on a mission to recruit Democrats in every district where a Republican candidate is running unopposed.


Who
Everyday people who want to improve their communities by running for local office.

What
The largest down-ballot candidate recruitment program of its kind.

Where
Anywhere Republicans are running uncontested

Why
To reinvigorate local democracy by ensuring voters have a choice.

Local Party Support

Folks on the front lines — non-urban Democratic local parties and organizers — don’t have the support they need to win. We're changing that through our grants program. We’ve distributed over $1 million to organizing groups and are just getting started.


Who
Local Democratic Parties and committees in rural and non-urban areas.

What
Funding, coaching, and tools to help register voters, recruit candidates, and get out the vote.

Where
Non-urban communities with a county population of 700,000 or less.

Why
In areas where Democrats are the underdogs, local parties often lack the resources needed to take their efforts to the next level.
