Local government shapes daily life more than Washington ever will. But the information infrastructure connecting citizens to it has collapsed.
Platform
Two pillars
Elections
Comprehensive coverage, candidate information, and voter education for local elections. We focus on the races that get the least attention but affect daily life the most.
Built with input from government officials, civic leaders, and everyday citizens to ensure information is accurate, accessible, and actually useful.
Our first deployment covers Cleveland Heights, Ohio municipal elections. More Ohio communities coming in 2025.
