Inside The System: A Two-Day Campaign Intensive

The Davis System’s two-day intensive training program will give campaign and advocacy professionals — from field organizers to campaign managers — the tools, strategies, and connections needed to succeed.

Why This Training Exists

Across campaigns, across the country, there’s one consistent challenge: finding and keeping skilled campaign staff. Too often on local campaigns, organizers and operatives learn on the job instead of showing up prepared to win from Day 1.

The Campaign & Advocacy Staff Training by The Davis System exists to fix that pipeline problem — to train and connect the next generation of campaign operatives before the 2026 election cycle begins.

Over two days, participants will:
✅ Gain practical campaign skills and insights from experienced practitioners
✅ Network directly with hiring campaigns, PACs, and advocacy organizations
✅ Leave with a stronger resume, professional portfolio, and action plan for career growth

Whether you’re wrapping up your 2025 campaign job, seeking new opportunities, or just starting your political career, this program is built for you.
