Hi,
My name is Lorenza Ramirez, and I’m the National Organizing Director at the DNC.
In April, we launched the inaugural Playbook, our guide for state parties and coordinated campaigns to win in November and beyond. Since its inception, the Playbook has accumulated over 14,000 unique views, 3,000 downloads, and has been downloaded and viewed in every single state in the country.
The reach of the Playbook has been astounding! We’ve received great feedback from campaigns large and small, and have helped organizing programs across the country implement new tactics to revolutionize their programs.
In the final months and weeks leading up to Election Day, we’ve been hearing from organizers that they want to learn how to apply the Playbook during GOTV season. That’s why we are introducing the Playbook Addendum.
My job is to make sure Democrats are reaching as many voters as possible. During a time focused on helping people register to vote and getting them the information they need, that principle couldn’t be clearer. Adapting our campaign strategy doesn’t happen by accident. It requires real-time learning and a commitment to providing updated guidance for campaigns of all sizes.
Through this brand-new update, we’re delivering refreshed best practices, expanded case studies, and actionable insights to strengthen our ground game nationwide. For the first time, we’re sharing important best practices on partisan voter registration through our When We Count program to register and turn out new Democrats nationwide.
The DNC has been putting in the work all year to secure our success. Thank you for being part of this journey.
Best,
Lorenza Ramirez
DNC National Organizing Director
DNC Unveils Playbook Addendum to Bolster Campaign Strategy for the 2026 Midterms
Traditional tactics aren’t enough on their own. The landscape has shifted, and we need updated tools to meet voters where they are.
When we launched the Playbook in March 2026, we built it to grow as new ideas emerged. The Addendum is that next step: updated tools, key case studies, and modern organizing standards. It includes best practices on having high‑quality voter conversations, results from our Local Listeners program and more.
On National Voter Registration Day, we’re emphasizing guidance that helps organizers turn out new Democrats. In the Addendum, we’re sharing the findings from our When We Count program, our partisan voter registration program. This provides best practices on how to effectively register and turn out new Democrats nationwide.
As we approach GOTV, sharing these learnings is critical. If we execute effectively, we can secure key victories up and down the ballot, but scaling this work depends on grassroots support.
What We’re Fighting For
Before going out in your community to turn out voters, it’s important to understand the Democratic Party’s core values and how we are fighting for the American people.
Our agenda is focused on lowering costs, improving healthcare, creating jobs, ending corruption, and protecting our democracy. While Republicans prioritize the interests of billionaires, Democrats stand firmly with working people.
Every American deserves a fair shot at the American dream. Check out our Party Platform so you can effectively share what we’re fighting for.
