The Progress Campaign
The Progress Campaign is an American Progressivism in [the United States|progressive] political organizing group formed in January 2018 by a group of organizers to help promote down-ballot candidates in the 2018 [United States elections|2018], 2019 and 2020 US election cycles. The team helped organize for hundreds of down-ballot candidates for the United States House of Representatives, State Legislatures and other statewide elections by partnering with local and state organizations, airing discussions with candidates and local university chapters and lead field organizing efforts in key swing districts across the country.
After the COVID-19 pandemic reached the United States and political ground operations were halted, the group published their key organizing tool as a forecast model for the 2020 Presidential Election. Their Presidential forecast rose to prominence being the only forecast to showcase county-level projections as well as changes to voter registration and demographic swings. According to local and state coverage of the presidential election, the forecast was one of the more optimistic of Former Vice President Joe Biden's chances in key U.S. states like Texas and Georgia while maintaining that his pathway to 270 remains outside the margin of error.
