[jobsthatareLEFT by GAIN] The Welcome Party – South Carolina Fellow

The Welcome Party is a data-driven 501(c)(4) non-profit dedicated to increasing voter turnout in primary elections. Through research and communication efforts, we will ensure that our national political campaigns talk to, rather than just about, voters who all too often are excluded from the conversation.

 

The Blue Lab is a political incubator that is revolutionizing Democratic political campaigns and the next generation of Democratic candidates and campaigners. The Blue Lab's mission is to cultivate the next generation of campaign leaders, to provide a unique educational experience, and to lower the barrier of entry for first-time, minority, and female candidates. 

 

The Welcome Party, in partnership with the Blue Lab, aims to combine data analysis and research with the Blue Lab's organizational and campaign training expertise in order to identify and engage independent and infrequent voters during the presidential primary. In so doing, the Welcome Party will lower the barrier of entry into the political dialogue for voters in the primary election.
