Opportunity BasketCandidate Platform Card & Voter Comparison Booklet Service
A managed service that collects standardized position statements from municipal candidates on 8-12 pre-defined local issues (zoning, schools, taxes, transit, etc.), formats them into a single-page candidate card, and produces a printed voter comparison booklet distributed to 15,000+ Cambridge households 2 weeks before election day. The service handles candidate outreach, statement collection, fact-check for consistency, layout, printing, and logistics.

Value Proposition
Candidates get guaranteed reach to actual voters in a neutral, comparable format (no algorithm filtering). Voters get a single, tangible reference tool they can hold, mark up, and share—no app required. The service removes fragmentation: one consistent message vehicle replaces scattered social media, town halls, and local media. Distribution through USPS ensures penetration across all demographics, including older and less-digital voters. Neutral framing eliminates candidate complaints about platform bias.

Municipal candidates struggle to communicate their positions clearly to voters during election campaignsCambridge municipal election candidates need effective ways to share their stances on key issues with constituents, but lack accessible platforms to reach voters systematically. Current solutions (social media, town halls, local media) are fragmented and don't guarantee message clarity or voter engagement, leaving candidates unable to efficiently convey their positions and voters unable to easily compare candidate platforms.
