How We Do It

Our electoral work focuses on winning governing majorities in the states by making state legislative campaigns more effective and better-funded. Our policy work provides nonpartisan tools and resources that connect a diverse community of state lawmakers committed to improving lives for the people they serve.


The States Project is the only national organization focused on both winning state legislative power and helping state lawmakers govern effectively to defend our democracy, protect personal freedoms, and improve people’s day-to-day lives.

Our Goal

We’re working to achieve the American Promise that all people are created equal with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — and that government is formed by the people to secure those rights. Delivering on this promise means securing effective government, personal freedom, fair markets, and representative democracy for all Americans. These principles guide every facet of our work.
