In Case You Missed It…
This Month’s Theme: “Strategy in Action”
This July, we’ve focused on building our bench and sharpening our tools—from grassroots organizing to campaign management. Our Candidate Training Workshop brought together a room full of future leaders ready to step up, serve, and win. Strategy isn’t just a plan—it’s a commitment to show up prepared.
Participants learned about campaign planning, communications, fundraising and field strategy from experienced Democratic leaders and strategists. Whether running now or later, attendees walked away prepared to make an impact.
Missed it? Don’t worry—we’ll be hosting more soon.
