The 2027 ballot is a local one: mayors, city councils, school boards, county commissions, sheriffs, judicial seats and local ballot measures, plus governor’s races in Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi. Down-ballot campaigns are badly served by vendors built for federal races. Our campaign web hosting puts a credible site up fast from $10.99 a month, provide campaign email from $1.95 per user, and run your list on our own SMTP servers and our own software — not a third-party relay whose policy can override ours.
Campaign web hosting has to hold up on the worst day of the cycle, not the average one: the night a mailer lands or a debate clip circulates. CISA’s election security resources are written for election offices, but the same basics apply to candidates. Our campaign web hosting runs on servers we own, so a vendor policy change in October cannot take your site offline.
The site builder with hosting and SSL, one Hub for Teams mailbox on your own domain, and the domain itself free for the first year — in one annual plan instead of three separate decisions.
Mayors, city and town councils, school boards, county commissions, sheriffs, clerks, judicial seats, township trustees, special district boards and local ballot measures. These are the offices with the most direct effect on the people voting for them and the least vendor competition.
Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi elect governors in 2027, alongside statewide and legislative races in a small number of states. Those campaigns bring consultants, committees and vendors into states where the local infrastructure market is thin.
School board campaigns now raise, spend and get attacked like races several levels up, while most candidates are still running on a free site and a personal email address. It is the clearest mismatch between stakes and infrastructure on the whole ballot.
Odd-year elections are where local control is decided, and they are the races national vendors ignore.
The single most common mistake in a local race is standing up the website after the filing deadline has already passed.
There is no third-party relay between your list and your supporters, which means no upstream acceptable use policy in a position to override ours and no vendor deciding that political bulk mail is more trouble than it is worth. The promise and the infrastructure sit inside the same company.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured and verified on your sending domain. Most deliverability disasters we are called into are a missing or broken record that took ten minutes to fix and cost a fundraising push.
Receiving providers still filter on their own terms. A brand-new domain blasting a purchased list will land in spam no matter who runs the servers. We will set the technical side up properly and tell you when the problem is the list rather than the infrastructure.
Political senders have an unusually rough time with email platforms, and most providers cannot do anything about it.
A firm handling fifteen municipal campaigns wants one account, its own branding and one invoice. A reseller account does that, and it turns a seasonal candidate business into recurring revenue for both of us.
County and state party organizations, PACs and advocacy committees persist across cycles and hold the relationships that produce candidate referrals. They are the better first call.
Archiving, records retention and shutting down what is finished, so a committee is not quietly paying for eight dormant sites two cycles later.
A candidate is an eighteen-month relationship. The people around them are not.
Order any of these in a few minutes, or read the full details first. Pricing is published up front, so you do not need a quote to see what it costs.
Build the site yourself from a template. Hosting, SSL and a free domain on annual billing are included.

Mostly local offices — mayors, city councils, school boards, county commissions, sheriffs, judicial seats and ballot measures — plus governor’s races in Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi and legislative races in a small number of states.
Yes. Website Builder is $10.99 a month and email starts at $1.95 a mailbox. A local campaign does not need a managed VPS and we will not sell you one.
Liberation Campaign runs on our own SMTP servers and our own software, so there is no third-party relay whose acceptable use policy could override ours. That removes the policy risk. Deliverability is a separate matter and depends on authentication and list hygiene, which we will help you get right.
No. We build and host the donation page and integrate with your committee’s processor. Fundraising underwriting belongs with a specialist acquirer, and we would rather be clear about that than imply we solve it.
We are not your compliance counsel. We build donation forms that capture what you have to report and produce exports your treasurer or compliance vendor can file. Local and state reporting rules differ from federal ones, so bring us yours.
Yes, and it is usually the right structure. One account under your own brand, your own margins and one invoice, rather than twelve separate logins you administer for free.
We archive it, retain what needs retaining and wind down the rest. Many local candidates run again in 2029 or 2031, so keeping the domain and the list intact matters more here than in a federal race.
Campaign web hosting starts at $10.99 a month for the site, with campaign email from $1.95 per user and your list sending from our own SMTP servers.
Bring your office, your filing date and your fundraising target. We will work backward from the deadline and tell you what to stand up first.
A campaign website has an unusual load shape and an unusual threat profile, and both peak at the same time. Traffic arrives in bursts after a mention, a debate or a mailer, and that is also when a defaced site or an inaccessible donate page costs the most. Ask a prospective host what happens during a spike, and whether the answer is something you can trigger yourself at nine on a Tuesday night.
Donor data is the serious asset. Names, addresses, employers and amounts, with reporting obligations attached that belong to your treasurer and your counsel — not to your vendor. Anyone implying their platform makes you compliant is overselling. What a provider should guarantee is that the records are intact, exportable and reachable when someone asks for them later.
Account security deserves more attention than campaigns usually give it. Volunteers come and go quickly, credentials get shared in group chats, and a compromised email account is the standard way a campaign gets embarrassed. Individual logins, multi-factor authentication everywhere, and switching access off the day someone stops working are the whole of it.
Plan the end as well as the beginning. Campaigns wind down, committees persist, and the domain and records have to survive the transition — registered to the committee, not to a staffer who will be working somewhere else in December.
