Democrats launch seven-figure program to train campaign staffers ahead of November

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is rolling out a program on Thursday that’s looking to train both new and current campaign staffers on a variety of skills as both parties ready themselves for the November midterms.
Called the NextWave Regional Bootcamp training program, the DNC will be hosting three-day bootcamps, which are being created together with state parties and coordinated campaigns, in “target states” to teach staffers different skills — including organizing, fundraising and voter registration.
The committee said the program, which is being launched with a seven-figure investment, will be geared toward two different types of operatives: One for mid-level campaign staffers with more experience and a separate entry-level track for staffers newer to campaigns.
The first two bootcamps are set to take place in the swing states of North Carolina and Arizona.
