Patriotic, not partisan
Thousands of elected officials take office without a single opponent on the ballot. That's not democracy — that's a coronation. We're here to change that.
The Problem
When candidates run without opposition, voters lose their most fundamental power: the power to choose. It happens at every level — from state legislatures to county boards — and it's far more common than most people realize.
What We Believe
Whether it's a deep-red county or a solid-blue city council, voters deserve a choice. Contested races produce better representatives and higher engagement.
We don't recruit for a party. We recruit for democracy. The goal is a name on the ballot — what that person stands for is between them and their voters.
The biggest gaps aren't in Congress. They're in school boards, city councils, and state houses — the offices that shape daily life. That's where we start.
The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.
— Robert Maynard Hutchins
