At Deck, we’ve spent years building massive, complex data pipelines to gather and process data on candidate filings, election results, campaign finance records, and more. So we know how painful it can be to work with this messy, hard-to-find data. We started solving this problem in early 2021 with our launch of Hubble, our data subscription service that gives you access to everything we know about campaigns and elections from 2008 to today.
In the last few years, Deck has had the privilege of working with over 1200 campaigns, 47 state parties, and many independent organizations.
Your organization has decided to make a difference by helping get Democrats elected around the country. Amazing! There are hundreds of thousands of races across the country and deciding which races to invest in and when is a tricky question. You want to make sure your investment is going to make a difference.
This past election cycle showed us the work organizations need to do to help Democratic campaigns win. Prioritizing outreach and talking to the right people is essential for successful campaigns going into 2022.
Working in progressive data is great. We have no shortage of meaningful questions to answer, organizers to empower, and fun experiments to run.
But before any of that can happen, we usually have to find and clean some sort of gnarly public data. And that's where this job can get frustrating.
After the 2020 election, we sought feedback from dozens of users and partners on how Deck should evolve for future cycles. Over and over again, we heard that there's a big unmet need for a tool like Deck at the local level.
