Hey there – We have a really exciting update about our down-ballot candidate recruitment program with our partners at the Democratic Party of Illinois.
So far, over 4,000 people have responded to our text messages to either run for down-ballot office or assist their County Party with getting Democrats elected.
This is huge, it proves that the Democratic bench is deep and that folks are itching to get involved in their communities if they’re given the support, confidence, and opportunity to do so.
We want to make sure we can give them the support they need, so we’re coming to you, our loyal supporters.
Would you consider making a small recurring donation for the 2024 election cycle right now?DONATE
Your donation will ensure we can run training sessions for potential candidates on a variety of topics, and would also ensure that we can provide valuable support to their County Parties to support their campaigns.
This timing is critically important: We’re just 2 months away from candidate filing deadlines, meaning our potential candidates have just 2 months to gather all the signatures they need to qualify for that ballot.
All that work takes time and costs money. And as the organization dedicated to building statewide Democratic power at the local level, it’s crucial we have the resources to support our 4,000 potential candidates at this time.
Your recurring contributions go a long way toward ensuring we have the resources to support our candidates and County Chairs through Election Day. Could you make a contribution right now as we head into one of the most crucial times of the year?
Thanks for everything,
Team IDCCA
