Help Build a Blue Future
Contest Every Race is turning rural areas blue by:
- Building the pipeline of candidates fighting back at the local level who can run for higher level office.
- Building local infrastructure in underserved areas to support these candidates.
- Driving additional Dem vote share through the reverse coattail effect & local organizing.
To build local infrastructure, we provide grants and unlimited volunteer recruitment to county teams meeting organizing goals. 230 of our 350 grantee counties are located in battleground states.
We recruited 2,907 candidates across 17 states to run for local office in 2024— and 1,408 won. With a 48% win rate, this marks our most successful year yet. We still need to raise $2M to support our expanded program in 2025 -- please chip in today or contact hello@contesteveryrace.com with questions, feedback, or partnership ideas.
