Win The House + Win The Senate
Protect Our People
Strategic Direction
Common Power is a civic amplifier that determines how resources are distributed independent of donor or corporate influence. In an era of A.I., biased news, and social media, volunteering to connect with voters at their doors is still the most effective way to win elections and that’s what we do best.
We’re most effective in key swing states where the margin of difference falls between 5% - 10% but the primary determinate of how we choose candidates is the importance of the seat in the national political landscape and the campaigns values.
National Influence
When we look at the national landscape, our internal process takes key data into account including:
Feedback from affected communities
Direction from local partners on the ground
Interest from our volunteers
Number of seats needed for a majority in congress
Aligned values
When looking at the values of a candidate/campaign we look for the following:
Candidates that work to expand the democratic coalition by pushing for progressive values
Taxing the rich
Pushing policies that support working class people and affordability.
Let’s be clear regardless of who we choose in primary elections, CoPo will ultimately support the democratic candidate in general elections because a dem majority in the House and Senate are our best chance at pushing progressive policies forward and fighting the Trump Administration.
