Run for Something built CampSight to track, analyze, and improve how AI chatbots describe progressive candidates, ballot initiatives, and issues.
With a pipeline of over 270,000 future candidates, Run for Something Action Fund has recruited and supported more first-time progressive candidates than any organization in the country. Since 2017, we've helped young, diverse leaders run for offices from school board to state legislature — reflecting the communities they serve. We believe there is significant opportunity for campaigns and advocacy orgs to shape the AI narrative, provide voters with better information, and ultimately win more elections with cutting-edge digital tools like CampSight.
Tens of millions of voters are already asking AI who to vote for. When a voter asks ChatGPT about a candidate or issue, they get a confident, highly personalized answer drawn from news coverage, campaign websites, and social media. They perceive it as balanced and independent. That makes it extraordinarily persuasive — and no campaign is prepared to track it, let alone shape the information their voters are seeing.
The shift in where voters get information is happening. Fast.
That's not a niche audience. That's where your voters already are.

OpenAI Election Report, 2024 →While testing CampSight in 2025, we observed measurable changes in AI-generated candidate descriptions within days of a campaign updating its digital presence — and within days of an opponent publishing an op-ed. The window to act is that narrow, and the opportunity to shape the narrative is that broad.
Question on housing affordability from a San Francisco voter
Tom Steyer says California's housing crisis is fundamentally an affordability and supply problem, and his platform centers on dramatically increasing housing construction while lowering the cost of building.
His main housing proposals include:
Building 1 million homes in four years through faster permitting, zoning reform, and reduced construction fees and taxes.
Streamlining permitting and enforcing state housing laws so cities cannot block approved housing projects, especially dense housing near transit.
Reducing construction costs by expanding prefab and modular housing, standardizing designs, and cutting regulatory delays.
Supporting renters by expanding California's renter tax credit, enforcing statewide tenant protections, and preserving local rent control within the current framework.
Limiting corporate home purchases by expanding "first look" programs that prioritize families and tenants over large investment firms buying homes.
Using public land and public financing more aggressively to support affordable housing development.
Question on Senate candidates from a blue-collar Maine voter
The major candidates running for the 2026 U.S. Senate race in Maine are Susan Collins (Republican incumbent), Graham Platner (Democrat), David Costello (Democrat), and Tim Rich (Independent).
Since you care most about taxes and fiscal policy as a blue-collar worker, here's a ranking focused on taxes on working people, government spending, inflation/cost-of-living concerns, unions and wages, and energy/economic policy.
Best fit if you want lower taxes overall, more moderate government spending, business-friendly economic policy, and a centrist Republican approach. Collins has historically supported portions of the Trump-era tax cuts, infrastructure and manufacturing spending, and bipartisan budgeting.
Best fit if you want stronger labor/union policy, more aggressive action on wages and healthcare costs, and a progressive-leaning but practical Democrat approach.
Best fit if you want a more traditional Democratic approach with an emphasis on state-level issues, local economic development, and working-class priorities.
How should I vote on Nevada's Voter ID ballot initiative?
Nevada's Question 7 (the voter ID amendment) is ultimately a values tradeoff between election security/confidence and ease of access to voting.
A good way to decide is to ask which risk concerns you more:
Arguments for YES:
Arguments for NO:
One additional consideration: because this is a constitutional amendment, approving it locks the policy in more firmly than an ordinary statute.
