Dear Reader,
The fourth robust data point we gather is pledges. Pledges are powerful signals about what a candidate believes and which organizations or issues the candidate wants to align with. Endorsements are organizations signaling which candidates they stand behind. Pledges are the inverse, where candidates signal which organizations and issues they stand behind.
But — they’re hard to find and are often buried in Facebook posts, interest-group websites, or local forums.
Ballotpedia gathers pledges and shares them in one place, so voters don't need to consult multiple sources.
With your tax-deductible gift of $100 or a monthly gift of $25, we can document more pledges, surface them for voters, and process incoming pledge data as 2026 campaigns accelerate. Your gift also helps us meet our goal of $10,000 by December 31st.
Help fuel this essential work — make your gift today!
Sincerely,
Geoff Pallay
Director of External Relations
