What’s the difference between the statewide and congressional district-wide campaigns?


Vote Forward is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, so by definition most of our work is nonpartisan. However, as a (c)(4), Vote Forward is permitted to do some political work. 


In 2024, our political work includes running two types of Political Campaigns. One type targets congressional districts where it’s critical to encourage voters to turn out for a specific U.S. House of Representatives race. The other type targets voters in strategically important states: voters in these states will have strong influence on national election results, as well as other key elections for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, or statewide offices. All of Vote Forward’s Political Campaigns target voters who are modeled as strongly likely to vote for Democrats. While there will be many letters available in our Political Campaigns in 2024, most of our letter writing will be part of our Social Campaigns, which aim to engage voters who are historically underrepresented in the electorate.
