We Compete is Here to Win!
What is our Win?
Our win is not a typical “win”. We are working on the theory that reverse coattails are more impactful than top down campaigning. Research has shown that running and competing in every district can have an up ticket impact compared to down ticket vote sharing as there typically is a drop off from the top of the ticket down ballot. We want to flip that on its head and we believe the research is right and the theory holds up that if we do down ballot work we can help up the ballot.
What does that mean?
That means running for local and state legislative offices. That means competing in districts that may be +30 Republican districts with the hope of making those +29.5 R districts and helping statewide and further up the ballot candidates improve their margins to make sure State Supreme Courts rule to protect reproductive rights because we can elect pro-abortion judges. That means we can elect Secretaries of State that will protect our democracy rather than trying to overthrow it. That means we could flip previously unwinnable Congressional and US Senate Districts to pass meaningful legislation in Congress.

Help People Vote Local
It is an old saying, but all politics really are local! That being said, we need to help local candidates fight local battles.
- Identify important local issues
- Help candidates identify opportunities
- Help present talking points that speak to voters
Find votes where they are hiding
Using data analytics, we are working to identify ways to get just a few more voters to the polls and a few more votes in the book.
- Taking a page from RedMap to deliver up-ballot
- Identify candidate opportunities that might be overlooked
- Win down ballot votes that help drive state and national gains
Shift the Field
We do not need to win every race. We need to win more votes in each race so we can win the big races.
- Winning an election is NOT the only way running has an impact – just running does!
- Change messaging to have an impact, even if small
- Identify ways to ask the question, “What has your current rep done to make life easier without alienating the voter
