You’re not a donor - You’re an Ally!
Investing down ballot means higher voter turnout for targeted federal races.

Down Ballot Allies invests in local elections and supports candidates in purple districts – from the bottom-up.

The reverse coattail effect is well documented. Investing in down ballot races yields higher Democratic turnout. The more money invested down ballot, the higher the voter turnout in Congressional races. Energy builds at every level.

Down Ballot Allies focuses on flipping the US House by allying with the most competitive Frontline and Red-to-Blue Congressional races.

Down ballot Democrats are more willing to step forward if a community supports them. Help us provide that community. With Down Ballot Allies, you are more than a donor — you are an Ally. Our Allies make it possible. Be an Ally!

Testimonials

  • Working with the DBA team has been an incredible boost to our voter outreach work. They're absolute pros and are able to tackle different scripts and groups with ease. Their experience shines through when having conversations with voters, particularly the low-propensity voters that we target. The results have been outstanding, and we're looking forward to continuing our partnership throughout the big election year ahead of us!

    Lauren Kunis, VoteRiders CEO & Executive Director

  • The team at Down Ballot Allies is committed to addressing wealth and income inequality. They have been incredibly helpful in setting up phone banking sessions, SMS messaging, and email campaigns to promote the Patriotic Millionaires Great Economy Project. We were thrilled with the turnout and grateful for the support generated by Down Ballot Allies' efforts. DBA’s team is composed of professionally trained, politically active individuals who have a mission to keep democracy strong in the United States. We plan to expand our partnership with DBA going forward.

    Erica Payne, Founder, CEO, Patriotic Millionaires

  • In 2023, the Down Ballot Allies team, led by Steve Chapman, made significant and decisive contributions to Democrats flipping the Virginia House of Delegates in 2023. With a major early investment in building small dollar fundraising infrastructure as well as technical help, they helped get my PAC, Secure Progress, off the ground with unparalleled momentum. As a direct result of Down Ballot Allies’ team, Secure Progress was able to grow quickly and provide over $2 million to competitive VA House races, which was essential to us flipping the House and obtaining a one seat majority. We could not have done this without Down Ballot Allies and Steve Chapman. Steve continues to be a critical supporter of my current Congressional campaign, and he and DBA will be critical to keeping VA blue in 2024 and beyond.

    Dan Helmer, Virginia House of Delegates, District 10, Candidate for US House District 10

  • Down Ballot Allies (DBA) was extremely helpful with constituent engagement in my Congressional campaign. We communicated much more effectively with voters who were still undecided. DBA made a huge difference.

    Don Davis, United States Representative

  • Down Ballot Allies (DBA) was a key part of our campaign team, helping us directly contact tens of thousands of voters while also performing robust research on our opposition as well as key issues & events. Their team was top-notch and made a huge difference in my race.

    Sean Casten, United States Representative

  • I have known Steve Chapman for years now, as a political strategist and constituent. His development of the ‘Democratic Capitalism Initiative’ and now ‘Down Ballot Allies' are cutting edge, creative, and cost-effective initiatives to support moderate Democratic candidates so we can take back the U.S. House of Representatives. I strongly endorse Down Ballot Allies and believe it will make a material difference in 2024.

    Kurt Schrader, Former United States Representative

  • As Democratic Capitalism Initiative's original campaign operations client, I witnessed the incredible role DCI played in the 2022 Congressional elections. Starting from scratch in January 2022, DCI provided issues research, opposition research, signature solicitation, and phone banking to a couple of dozen competitive Congressional campaigns, including mine. Their support is unwavering in difficult moments and with Down Ballot Allies, they will be even more formidable in 2024 and beyond.
