“C&E is and will continue to be a ‘how-to’ journal, bringing you the best in strategies and tactics—what works and what doesn’t, where, why and under what circumstances”
-Stanley Foster Reed, Founder, 1980

As Democrats look to chart a path forward after the 2024 election, one group is urging them to rethink the very language they use on the campaign trail.

Third Way, a center-left think tank, circulated a memo late last month listing 45 words and phrases that they believe are harming Democrats’ ability to connect with voters.

Political ad spending is expected to hit an all-time high for a midterm cycle in 2026, according to new projections from the ad tech firm AdImpact.

The report, released this week, predicts that candidates, campaigns, committees and outside groups will drop a staggering $10.8 billion on advertising during the 2026 election cycle, driven by expectedly robust spending on broadcast television and the continued growth of CTV.

The largest voter contact group in the country is ditching the canvassing software that Democratic campaigns and organizations have relied on for years.

Progressive Turnout Project, a Chicago-based political action committee that supports liberal candidates, is partnering with the canvassing tech startup TouchStone ahead of the 2026 midterms, steering away from NGP VAN’s canvassing app MiniVan, which has long been considered the industry standard in the world of Democratic voter contact.

Who would have predicted that in 2025 candidates would start texting their supporters pleading with them to save the campaign’s number in their contacts?

It’s the result of Apple’s incoming iOS 26 deployment, expected to get pushed out around mid-September. The new operating system could have a dramatic impact on political texting in this off-year and beyond. C&E recently spoke with Webb Bostic, president of Wonder Cave, on the upcoming iOS launch and how texting strategy is shifting moving forward.

Democratic groups have made headway in recent years hiring more diverse talent, but consulting firms still have some catching up to do.

In interviews with Campaigns & Elections, half a dozen Democratic consultants, operatives and committee staffers commended concerted efforts by party committees and PACs to diversify their staffs over the past several election cycles. But they also acknowledged that Democratic firms and agencies have, at times, struggled to keep pace with those efforts.

President Donald Trump wants to put an end to mail-in voting. A new poll suggests that most Americans disagree with that.

Fifty-eight percent of Americans favor allowing any voter to cast their ballot by mail, regardless of whether they have an excuse for doing so, according to a survey from Pew Research Center. An even larger share of respondents – 80 percent – said they support allowing early, in-person voting for at least two weeks before Election Day.

As Democrats brainstorm how to win back key constituencies that swung for President Donald Trump in 2024, one group is urging a different strategy: Focus on the “skippers.”

New polling from Way to Win, a national donor network focused on building Democratic power in the Sunbelt, makes the case that most of the millions of voters who supported former President Joe Biden in 2020, but consciously sat out the 2024 election, are still in play for Democrats in the 2026 midterms and beyond.

A case of regulatory overreach prompted California-based public affairs consultant Matt Klink to engage advocacy platform CiviClick for an ambitious campaign. Their goal: defeat a proposed rule change by an agency that hadn’t lost a regulatory fight in close to a decade.

The campaign waged by CiviClick on behalf of Klink’s clients took an unexpected turn and left the staff of the Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) reeling.

EMILY’s List, the influential Democratic-aligned political action committee, has a new top brass.

Michelle White, who previously served as the PAC’s chief of staff, will serve as executive director, while its former interim Vice President of Development Nick Schumaker will take on the chief of staff role, according to an announcement shared first with Campaigns & Elections.

"For years, the prevailing cultural narrative has been that younger Americans — Gen Z and younger millennials — are addicted to their phones, disengaged, and disillusioned with the trappings of modern capitalism. To the extent young voters were engaged, it was on the left side of the aisle. But Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign disrupted that assumption in a big way."

End of an era at Push Digital Group (PDG): Founding partner Wesley Donehue is stepping away after selling his stake to senior partner Scott Howell, who will now assume full ownership. Since 2010, Donehue helped grow PDG into one of the GOP’s top digital firms. His exit marks a major transition, even as the company pledges continuity for its clients and services.
