Report: Democrats Look to Fund Effort to Elect Local Election Supervisors
Jacob Bliss 18 Apr 2022
Democrats are reportedly looking to raise $80 million to fund a three-year “a way-down-the-ballot” effort to find, train, and support candidates for local offices in charge of election administration.
Run for Something, a Democrat candidate recruiting group, is looking to pitch their party’s donors on an effort they call project “Clerk Work.” The three-year program would focus on local elections and help recruit candidates in 35 states. Ultimately, if successful, it would “find, train and support 5,000 candidates for local offices in charge of election administration,” Politico reported.
The group launched shortly after former President Donald Trump won the presidential election in the 2016 cycle, and its mission was to recruit candidates for local elections. The effort would be for anything having to do with elections, such as county probate judges, county clerks, and county election board members.
The group now wants to expand its efforts leading up to the 2024 presidential election, which is why the group will pitch its idea to donors, Politico noted.
