Local Candidates

We support and give voice to progressive, diverse candidates who are connected to their communities

The Hometown Project and our electoral partners support and give voice to progressive, diverse candidates who are connected to their communities and have a proven record of constructive, positive work within their districts. Artists are promoting candidates who share their values and who will work on behalf of their community to seek solutions to help all of their constituents, and not to serve the interests of national organizations and agendas. We make a dedicated effort to ensure diversity of our candidates from many perspectives including gender, age, and ethnicity. Our goal is to ensure that our candidates are informed, balanced representatives and reflections of the community they serve.
