How it works

Your campaign only works if you hit minimum thresholds. Covenant tracks them.

Fundraising. Coalitions. Messaging. Voter contact. At any point in your race, some of these matter more than others.

Most campaigns fail by missing a threshold in one of these five. Most don’t realize they’ve already missed one.

Covenant tracks your thresholds—and builds your week around them.

Each week, Covenant shows what to do, tracks your progress, and updates your plan.

Establishing viability

Trust, competence, policy

Target: 15-minute research sprints on top 3 policy priorities

Coalition building

Networking, screening, endorsements

Target: Schedule 3 county chair meetings and 5 township chair meetings

Fundraising

Events, call time, donor meetings

Target: $2k new donors, $1k grassroots, $500 resolicitation

Message development

Positioning, urgency, differentiation

Target: Test two ways of talking about your top issue with your network

Voter contact

Identification, persuasion, turnout

Target: 200+ voters reached, 10+ volunteers

Thresholds shown for a local race. Higher for county and state offices.

When something falls behind, your plan adjusts to keep you on track.

What you get

So you don’t waste your week on things that won’t move your campaign forward.

  • Clear priorities so you don't waste your week
  • Fewer low-impact commitments
  • Faster, more confident decisions

Built for candidates running without a campaign manager

Most first-time candidates make daily campaign decisions on their own — what to prioritize, what to skip, where they’re falling behind.

Covenant generates a weekly briefing using Llama 3.3 70B that names the single highest-leverage action for the day and flags what’s low-impact this week. Campaign data is stored in AWS us-east-1 and is never used to train any model.

Covenant operates in NJ, NY, PA, and CT for the 2026 pilot. The program is free this cycle.
