FOR LOCAL CANDIDATES (MAYOR, COUNCIL, SCHOOL COMMITTEE)
The big-race playbook, scaled to your town.
Local candidates are the finance team. PollCap ranks the universe, ingests the local civic calendar, and tells you who to call before the dollar walks out the door.
What you get
Three things Local teams stop doing by hand
Local civic event ingestion: planning boards, school committees, public hearings.
Precinct-level donor concentration and reactivation candidates.
Cap-aware ask sizing at the state and local level.
The pattern we see
What is actually broken for Local teams today
Donor universe is tiny and the candidate is the finance team.
Every dollar is a real call and the candidate cannot afford to waste 30 minutes on the wrong donor.
Civic event attendance at planning boards and town halls is the actual signal but nobody is tracking it.
When PollCap fires
The signals that trigger outreach for Local teams

Sample finding
“A mayoral candidate ran the entire finance operation alone. PollCap surfaced 32 reactivation candidates from a 410-donor file and paced asks around civic-meeting attendance.”
This is the kind of finding PollCap surfaces for Local teams in the first week. Specific to your file. Cited to a real signal.
