The big tools weren't built for your race.
NGP VAN is Democrat-only. i360 is Republican-only. Your local race is neither.
Texas school board and city council races are nonpartisan by law — no party labels on the ballot — so the two dominant platforms structurally lock you out. The alternative most candidates settle for is worse: buy a raw voter list, bolt on a separate canvassing app, a texting tool, a dialer, a mail house, and a spreadsheet for compliance, then pray they talk to each other.
The status quo
- A raw voter list
- A separate canvassing app
- A texting tool
- A phone dialer
- A mail house
- A compliance spreadsheet
Five logins. Five invoices. Five things to break two weeks before Election Day.
Six modules. One login. The entire campaign.
No add-on packs. No stitching five tools together. No party gatekeepers — just one operating system, end to end.

Nonpartisan isn't a setting. It's the whole point.
Every candidate. Every party. The races the partisan tools can't serve.
Mandate gives every candidate the same clean voter data and analytics — no party login, no ideological gate, no permission required. A school board hopeful, a city council challenger, and a county judge can all run on the same platform, and a city can buy a neutral Civic instance without taking a side. The partisan incumbents can't copy this without alienating their own base.
NGP VAN
Democrats only — locks out everyone else

Mandate
Every candidate, every party, and the nonpartisan races between them
From a blank page to a finished campaign.
It doesn't hand you an empty CRM. It hands you a plan.
Pick your race
Tell Mandate the office you're running for and your district. It does the votes-needed math and sizes your universe instantly.
Build your universe
Mandate builds your voter universe and walk lists, drafts a week-by-week plan to filing and Election Day, and sets your compliance calendar.
Execute the plan
Send your field team out, run your mail, texting, dialer, and GOTV, track every contact, and stay compliant — all in one platform.
One platform. Three kinds of buyer.
No competitor credibly serves all three — least of all the city on the other side of the ballot.
We earned our beachhead in Frisco first.
Collin County is the proof of concept the whole platform is built on.
Frisco's 2026 mayoral race drew more than 27,000 votes, four candidates, and a June 13 runoff. Frisco ISD trustees are elected at-large to three-year terms with no run-offs — so candidates have to reach the entire district, not one precinct. And with 83% of the county's growth coming from people moving in, the voter rolls churn constantly. A static voter file is out of date the day you buy it. A live operating system isn't.
Priced to win your race — not nickel-and-dimed.
A real entry tier for local candidates, multi-client dashboards for consultants, and annual Civic contracts for cities. One platform replaces the whole stack.

Candidate plans are billed per cycle and scale by the size of your race (voter universe), so a school-board race never pays a congressional price. Cities bill annually.
Voter data and money. Treated like it.
Every record is PII. Every filing is compliance. Built that way from day one.
Multi-tenant isolation
Row-level security keeps every campaign's data sealed off from every other — a clean break from plaintext-password legacy tools.
Texas compliance built in
Form C/OH, Texas Ethics Commission filings, and contribution-limit checks live inside the platform — not a separate spreadsheet.
PII by default
All voter and donor data is treated as sensitive PII, with role-based access so volunteers never see what they shouldn't.

What is Mandate?
Mandate is an all-in-one, nonpartisan campaign operating system. It combines voter data, analytics and maps, a field and volunteer app, marketing (mail, SMS, dialer, GOTV), and finance and compliance in a single login — so you run your entire campaign on one platform instead of stitching five tools together.
Is Mandate partisan?
No. Mandate is nonpartisan by design and open to every candidate of every party — including the officially nonpartisan local races (school board, city council, most mayors) that NGP VAN (Democrat-only) and i360 (Republican-only) structurally lock out.
Who is Mandate for?
Three buyers: candidates for local office (school board through county), campaign consultants and managers running multiple races, and cities buying a nonpartisan Civic instance on an annual contract.
How much does Mandate cost?
Candidate plans are billed per cycle and scale by the size of your race, starting with an accessible local-race tier so a school-board campaign never pays a congressional price. Cities bill annually. Book a demo for a quote tailored to your race.
Where is Mandate available?
Mandate launched in Frisco and serves Collin County and North Dallas first, with the structure built to extend cleanly across Texas and nationally. If you're running anywhere, request a demo and we'll map your race.
