  • Sally Field: "Here's what I wish someone had told me sooner. The smartest political donation you can make isn't where you'd think." It's not the races on TV. While everyone watches Congress, Trump's allies are quietly going after the offices that actually decide your vote: clerks, election boards, local courts. The State and Local Election Alliance found exactly which of those we can win. And they're winning 80% of them, even in deep-red counties. Because these seats cost so little, your hu

  • North Carolinians expect their judges to be tough on crime — not cozy up with the people who prey on kids. Taking campaign donations from a known child sex offender or even associating with groups who take money from a child sex offender is unacceptable for a sitting judge. We may not agree on much, but Republicans, Independents, Democrats, and everyone in between can agree that North Carolinians have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to rubbing shoulders with pedophiles.

  • Conan O'Brien: "If anyone appreciates something unsexy, it's this guy right here." County clerks, election boards, local courts. The offices that decide whether your vote gets cast, counted, and certified. The State and Local Election Alliance finds the ones we need to win, and they're winning 82% of them.

  • Bradley Whitford: "Feeling helpless about the future of our country? That's how they want you to feel. But despair is a luxury the future can't afford — and action is the antidote to despair." The most effective way to take action: the State and Local Election Alliance. They're beating election deniers month after month, winning 82% of the races they target. Just this year, they swung a deep-red Wisconsin county by 44 points to flip a crucial judge's seat. A whole campaign costs about $25,000

  • Julia Louis-Dreyfus: "Does that make you mad? It makes me absolutely furious." After the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, Trump wants Republicans to take twenty House seats. The way we fight back is a firewall of state court judges who can strike down rigged maps. The State and Local Election Alliance recruits and funds candidates for these exact seats. Many of these races are razor-close — one was decided by just 16 votes. Not 16%. Sixteen votes. That's the kind of gap your $100 cl

  • Ellie Kemper: "The smart move is to donate where your money can go a lot further." Your feed is full of House and Senate ads right now, and that's exactly why your money is worth less there. All of it is going to the same handful of races at the top of the ticket. The State and Local Election Alliance sends it where it goes further: county clerks, election boards, state courts. The people who decide how your vote gets cast, counted, and certified. They're winning 82% of the races they back, an

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
