Created by Arena + Run for Something

You’ve been working for months for this moment. It’s the night of the election, and all of the phone calls have been made, texts sent, fundraising finished, and the results are … too close to call. 

The following guide will help you craft that plan detailing what to do (and what not to do) before Election Day to prepare for uncertain results following the election.

  • Who to reach out to for legal support based on your type of race (Congressional, State Legislative, and local)
  • Questions to ask your election lawyer
  • Questions to ask local election officials

Republicans have spent decades cultivating talent and investing for the long run, and right now we’re paying the price. Republicans control 30 state legislatures, 28 governors mansions, and are just a few seats away from regaining control of Congress. Together with an activist Supreme Court, they’re enacting policies that turn back progress on everything from abortion to voting rights to climate change. 

Arena is building a new generation of political leaders who will lead the fight to save our democracy and build progressive power for the long run. It’s going to take all of us to make change. Join us in this work.
