Wherever you look, you’ll find a thousand opinions on how Democrats should rebuild power.

For us, it starts with one simple truth: We can’t win if we don’t run.

Before we go on…hi, John! We’re Contest Every Race, the largest candidate recruitment engine in the country, and we don’t have hot takes — we have results.

390 Rural County Parties Supported

We provide funding, training, and resources to 390 county Democratic Parties in rural communities.

With our help, they’ve knocked on 1,000,000+ doors, registered 25,000+ voters, and pushed back against MAGA extremists in their towns and neighborhoods.

In 2024, many of the counties we supported were one of the few in their battleground state to improve Democratic vote share from 2020.

11,899 Candidates Recruited

We’ve recruited 11,899 Democrats (and counting) to run for local offices across America.

5,216 Local Republicans Fired

We’ve removed 5,216 GOP incumbents since 2018 — including election deniers and dangerous MAGA extremists.

48% Win Rate

Our 2024 win rate was an incredible 48%, proving that when we RUN, we WIN.

3x Votes per Dollar

A rigorous third-party study found that we clinch three times more votes per dollar than other turnout programs. Our program is efficient and cost-effective, giving you more bang for your buck.

Reclaiming our democracy starts on the ground in small towns and rural communities. We’re ramping up our efforts for 2025 and beyond to reach more voters, recruit more great candidates, and fund long-term organizing in more counties than ever.

All of that takes resources. Republicans have billionaire megadonors and Fortune 500 corporations to bankroll their campaigns. We count on patriotic people like you, who are ready to take our country back one county at a time.

John, will you invest any amount to help us Contest Every Race across America?
