The path to a secure democracy starts in the states.

We believe that non federal races are the building blocks of democracy, yet these races are historically under invested in. We seek to fill this gap.

From Governors to Secretaries of State to legislatures to State Supreme Courts to local elections officials, the mechanics of our democracy are administered in the states and that is where the fight must be won. 

WHAT SLEA DOES

Established in 2024, SLEA serves as a center of gravity to win state and local elections in order to secure, maintain, and advance democracy. Focusing on key positions in election administration and oversight, we:

  • Increase investments in non-federal races 

  • Create efficiencies through shared programming, tools, and services.

  • Leverage a shared infrastructure to maximize impact. 

  • Plan for future cycles + move beyond the cycle to cycle crisis politics.
