Young Democrats of America

Organize everywhere. Lead with data.

I’m Dan, and I’m running for Executive Vice President of the Young Democrats of America — to put real organizing data in the hands of every chapter, in every state.

About Us

Meet Dan the Democrat

Dan is a data person and an organizer, and he believes those two things belong together.

As the Chief Data Officer of the Young Democrats of America, he builds the maps, models, and turnout tools that help organizers understand the ground they’re fighting on. He got into this work after watching young Democrats organize their hearts out with almost none of the data the other side takes for granted — and he’s spent this cycle closing that gap, precinct by precinct.

The Platform

What I’ll bring to YDA

Three commitments, if you send me to the executive board.

01.

Data for every chapter

Turnout targets, precinct maps, and voter analysis shouldn’t be a luxury for the biggest states. I’ll make the tools I’ve built available to every chapter that wants them.

02.

Organizing everywhere

A party that only contests safe seats loses the next generation. I want YDA investing in red states and rural counties, where young Democrats organize with the least support and the most courage.

03.

Built to last

Institutions outlive candidates. I want to leave YDA with systems and training that keep working after this cycle.

The Maps

Elections, mapped precinct by precinct

People know me as the guy who maps elections down to the precinct. A showcase of that work is going right here — interactive maps you can explore.

[Dan — tell me which maps to feature and I’ll drop them in.]

Why me

What sets this campaign apart

Not slogans — a way of working.

Grassroots first

Every chapter has a voice worth organizing around. I start from the people doing the work, not the org chart.

Data-driven

With a the maps and the numbers, so decisions get made on evidence rather than on who shouts loudest.

Everywhere, not just the safe seats

My goal is to back the next generation of Democrats organizing in places the party has written off.
