About the Program The Progressive Turnout Project (PTP) Campaign Fellows Program

This program seeks to expand Democratic voter turnout by placing trained fellows into priority campaigns. After being identified by a selected campaign or partner organization (e.g., party/legislative committee or campaign committee), Fellows are hired and paid by PTP and to strengthen field operations in key districts. Fellows focus on direct voter contact—especially door-to-door canvassing—to mobilize Democratic voters and increase turnout where it matters most. This program combines paid field experience, structured training, and real electoral impact, making it one of the most hands-on ways to work on competitive campaigns. Fellows play a direct role in increasing turnout in competitive districts that determine control of state legislatures and Congress.
