Understanding the Democratic Party

If your dream is to work on a campaign, this course will help you decide what level of campaign you want to work on (e.g., state representative, U.S. Senate) and familiarize you with the organizational players you may encounter once you’re there. If your dream is to run for office, on the other hand, you’ll learn all about the Democratic ecosystem and the responsibilities you may have depending on the level of office that you run for. Either way, you need to understand the Democratic Party if you want to work within it!
