No. We’d rather help you develop your own. GAMC is built around the idea that people with very different political views can still benefit from better information, better questions, and a clearer understanding of who and what is on their ballot.

Neither. Great American Middle Class is intended as a nonpartisan concept. Both major political parties frequently describe themselves as advocates for middle-class and working Americans, but they often define the challenges and proposed solutions differently. Democrats have commonly emphasized wages, labor, healthcare, education, public investment, and economic inequality, while Republicans commonly emphasize taxes, regulation, inflation, entrepreneurship, domestic production, and individual economic opportunity. Many Americans also hold combinations of views that do not fit neatly into either party. GAMC provides a place to explore those candidates, issues, differences, and perspectives. We do not tell voters which political definition is correct or how they should vote.

Local ballots can get complicated surprisingly quickly. You may recognize the candidates for President or Governor, but what about the judges, county officials, state legislators, school board members, and other people farther down the ballot? GAMC is designed to make that research easier by bringing election information and candidates together in one place, along with links and tools that help you dig deeper. You may even discover a few races or issues you didn’t realize you cared about until you started looking!

Because a ballot is more than a list of names. The people elected to local, state, and federal offices make decisions that can affect your schools, taxes, roads, public safety, businesses, neighborhoods, rights, and everyday life. You don’t have to become a political expert. Even a little research can help you cast a vote that better reflects what matters to you.

You don’t have to know everything about everything. Start with the races and issues that matter most to you, then explore from there. GAMC is meant to make it easier to work your way through your ballot one race at a time instead of trying to figure everything out at once.
