Post-election can be a rollercoaster—stressful at best, gut-wrenching at worst. After months, even years, of putting in the work, less-than-ideal results can make even the most optimistic wonder if it was all worth it. But this is not the time to let up. We've built momentum, and now's when we need to dig in.

If you were a candidate this year, and didn’t get the outcome you wanted, your supporters are still there—and they’re still your community. Keep your promises alive by helping them channel their voices: show up at town halls, flood representatives’ lines, and vote with intention on the down-ballot issues that matter. County Parties are perfectly positioned to hold the line and keep these communities connected, election season or not.

Keeping your base engaged year-round means next time, you’re not starting from scratch. Your campaign tools are made to work beyond just election season. For NGP VAN users, keeping those email lists warm and ready means you won’t be rebuilding from the ground up. Now is the time when you most need to keep your supporters active, and work on growing the movement every step of the way.

And we're not stopping here. We’re gearing up with more training materials to make sure these tools are sharper and more powerful next time. We’re moving forward, together, ready to fight whatever comes next.

With the next federal filing deadline right after Thanksgiving, now’s the time to finish your reporting. Avoid last-minute stress and holiday surprises by tackling it early. Remember, the FEC doesn’t account for your holiday plans!

Get it done early, and thank yourself later!

This season, show your appreciation with a timely thank-you email or holiday greeting. These small gestures go a long way to keep supporters engaged and ensure they think of you in the year ahead.
