Building For 2027 Starts Now
Websites, email and donation pages for the 2027 municipal cycle — mayors, city councils, school boards, county races and three governor’s mansions. On servers and mail infrastructure we own in the United States.
The Short Answer
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. We put 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.
What Is Actually On The Ballot In 2027
The municipal and county ballot
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.
Three governor’s races
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 races are no longer small
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.
- Filing dates drive everything Local filing windows generally open months before the election and vary by state and office. The site, the domain, the email address and the donation page should exist before you file, not after, because the first thing anyone does after seeing your name is search it.
- A local race cannot afford a slow build You do not have a year. A standard build — domain, hosting, email, a donation page and analytics — can be live in days, and Website Builder at $10.99 a month puts a credible site within reach of a council campaign that has raised four figures.
- Build the list before you need it The list you start collecting in March is the one that funds you in October. Liberation Campaign is billed on emails sent rather than contacts stored, so an early list that grows all year does not cost you more for existing.
Start In Spring, Not In September
The single most common mistake in a local race is standing up the website after the filing deadline has already passed.
We Own The Mail Servers, Not Just The Web Servers
Liberation Campaign runs on our own SMTP and our own software
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.
Authentication done right before your first send
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.
What owning the relay does not fix
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.
- The page and the processor are separate decisions We build and host the donation page, the forms and the receipting on servers we own, and integrate with the payment processor your committee uses. Political fundraising underwriting belongs with a specialist acquirer, and we will say so rather than imply otherwise.
- Capture what you have to report Occupation and employer, contribution limits and the flags your treasurer needs, built into the form rather than reconstructed afterwards from a transaction export. Local races have state and municipal reporting rules of their own, and they are not the federal ones.
- Exports your treasurer can file Itemisation formatted for the reporting your treasurer or compliance vendor already does, rather than a raw export somebody reformats by hand the night before a deadline.
Donation Pages And Reporting
The Buyer Who Is Still Here In 2029
Consultants running multiple local races
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 parties and committees
County and state party organisations, PACs and advocacy committees persist across cycles and hold the relationships that produce candidate referrals. They are the better first call.
A clean wind-down after election day
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.

2027 Campaigns, PACs & Consultants FAQs
When should a 2027 campaign start building?
Before you file, and ideally in the first half of the year. Local filing windows open months ahead, the first thing anyone does after hearing your name is search it, and the list you start collecting in spring is the one that funds you in autumn.
What is on the 2027 ballot?
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.
We are a city council campaign with a small budget. Is this affordable?
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.
Will our campaign email get shut off?
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.
Do you provide the merchant account for political fundraising?
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.
Do you help with campaign finance reporting?
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.
We are a consulting firm with a dozen local clients. Can we resell?
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.
What happens to the site after November 2027?
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.
