Closing an industry-wide gap
Angel investors. Seed funding. Venture capital. Unicorn startups. In business, there’s a whole industry of forward-thinkers eager to invest in promising people, ideas, and products — often years before they’ve ever generated even a penny of profit. But that attitude is nearly nonexistent in political campaigns, where most donations are made at the last minute, late in the summer ahead of a November election.
At New Politics, we’re trying to close the gap between the way the most ambitious tech startups raise cash from angels and VC firms and business-as-usual in politics.

Candidate Spotlight
|
Virginia goes to the polls on November 2nd, so we're highligting one of the candidates we've endorsed for Delegate: Dan Helmer. Dan is an Army veteran and Rhodes Scholar who we've backed since his first campaign in 2019. In addition to his service to our nation, Dan has distinguished himself in his short tenure as an elected leader. This week, he earned the endorsement of the Washington Post Editorial Board, who wrote, "Mr. Helmer has displayed guts, independence and intelligence as a freshman lawmaker, including by backing a bipartisan redistricting commission — a reform overwhelmingly approved by Virginia voters — even when members of his own party reversed themselves to oppose it."
