Election Day is behind us, a lame duck session is on the way, and plenty of offices will change hands between now and January. For advocacy teams, that raises one big question: who are your advocates actually reaching?
Our Data team is handling that part, so your campaigns keep running while results are certified and new lawmakers take office. Here’s how.
Election Data
Our Data team is tracking all U.S. elections on the federal, state and local levels, including:
- Federal elections in every state and U.S. territory
- State legislative elections
- Gubernatorial races
- Numerous city/local elections
Our team combines a mix of automated tools and access to data partners, combined with close manual review and quality control to ensure our data is updated quickly and accurately as soon as it becomes available.
Most new lawmakers’ data will be available within a few days of when they’re certified to take office, and if a lawmaker doesn’t have a contact method available immediately, we will hold messages until their information is made public.
We will keep current lawmakers in-platform until their successors are sworn in and the election is verified. Once a lawmaker has been replaced, they will be marked “inactive” in our platform and will no longer be able to be messaged.
