John,
Zoë Stein here, Executive Director of Contest Every Race. We recruit and support Democrats in places that have been written off — places where MAGA extremism takes root by default.
Right now, 1 in 5 rural counties in America has no functioning local Democratic Party.
No county chair.
No local organizing.
No path forward.
Without party leadership in these communities, Democratic presence vanishes — with real consequences:
- Up to 8% drop in Democratic vote share
- Up to 10% drop in voter contact
- Fewer Democrats running up and down the ballot.
This is what rural collapse looks like — and we’re the only national program rebuilding Democratic infrastructure in these communities at scale.
Will you chip in $25 today to help rebuild Democratic power where it’s vanishing fastest?
In 2024, we awarded 350 local Democratic teams with $1.2 million in grants, funding year-round work that renewed faith in Democrats, recruited new candidates, and reengaged voters in communities long overlooked.
In 2025, we’re stepping up even further. We’ve accepted 390 local teams into our program, more than ever before — but we can only support them with your help.
The data couldn’t be clearer: When local Democratic Parties disappear, so do the voters. When we invest in rebuilding, Democrats start winning again.
Let’s stop the collapse before it becomes permanent. Will you help us Contest Every Race?
John, will you chip in $25 or more to help us reach more rural counties than ever before?
- Zoë Stein; Executive Director, Contest Every Race
