Hello Raymond,

Election day is only 36 days away, and while we are doing everything we can to get out the vote, it’s also time for us at LEAD to start looking to 2024. It’s hard to believe that filing deadlines for those thinking of running next year are right around the corner. This is where we come in! We’re here to help prepare progressive leaders in Ohio to learn everything they need to know about campaigning so they feel confident in their decision to run or work on someone’s campaign.

2024 LEAD Campaign Academy
This year’s Academy combines our traditional candidate, judicial candidate, and campaign staff trainings into a comprehensive, 50-hour training program. Over the course of 6 weekends, the LEAD Campaign Academy will cover campaign best practices and candidate development; specific guidance for judicial candidate compliance; and resources for those interested in working on campaigns.

Our Candidate Academy is a great fit for:

  • Candidates planning to run in 2024
  • Judicial Candidates planning to run in 2024
  • Individuals ready to staff campaigns
  • Super volunteers looking to improve their skills

Acceptance into the Academy is competitive.
Applications are due 11:59 pm Sunday, November 12. 
Apply today!
