Election Infrastructure is Top Priority

Election Cycle Dysfunction. More often than not, standard approaches to political campaigns struggle through the "Boom and Bust" cycle around the time of elections. Many campaigns are siloed with disjointed and uncoordinated efforts compounded by too much dependence on TV ads. And major marquee candidates garner the vast majority of resources.

Infrastructure Priority. 31st Street's goal is to build year-round infrastructure in key states with these priorities:

Grassroots Groups Organizing
Voter Registration
Democratic State Parties
Honest Media to counter right-wing propaganda

Key Populations. Based on research and our tried process, our methodology is to focus on major population groups, which include low-propensity voters, low-information voters, working-class voters, rural voters, and young people.

Strategic Candidate Selection. Often we support down-ballot candidates such as for the legislature, because their roles are crucial, they benefit more from support and their strong campaigns benefit major up-ballot candidates. Our team provides selective candidate support by discovering where contributions will be most effective in creating positive outcomes.

Operating Principles. We aim to be flexible, nimble, detail-oriented, evidence-based, and targeted to have the greatest impact.
