Democrats Ramp Up Efforts in Key States Ahead of Election Day

Strategic Insights

— 3 min read

As the November election approaches, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is making significant investments in key battleground states, including New Jersey, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. With less than two weeks to go until Election Day, the party is focused on boosting voter outreach, building long-standing Democratic infrastructure, and securing Democratic victories in 2025 and beyond.

The DNC has launched major investments into the coordinated campaigns in these states, allocating funds to support voter outreach, party building, and election infrastructure. In New Jersey, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, the party is working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, from governor to local offices.

DNC Chair Ken Martin has been at the forefront of these efforts, traveling to key states to stump for gubernatorial candidates and rally voters. In New Jersey, Martin visited the state over the weekend to campaign for Mikie Sherrill and other Democratic candidates. In Pennsylvania, he continued to hammer the importance of the upcoming Supreme Court retention races, which will decide the fate of abortion, voting rights, and gerrymandering in the state.

The DNC is also launching a brand new tech pilot program to develop tools and technologies that state parties and coordinated campaigns can use to build party infrastructure. This comes as the party seeks to modernize and innovate its technologies to benefit the Democratic ecosystem and campaigns in the years to come.
