How it works
Your campaign only works if you hit minimum thresholds. Covenant tracks them.
Most campaigns fail by missing a threshold in one of five areas — and most don’t realize they’ve already missed one.
Covenant tracks your thresholds and builds your week around them. When something falls behind, your plan adjusts to keep you on track.

Trust, competence, policy
Target: 15-minute research sprints on top 3 policy priorities

A week on Covenant
Specific strategy, not generic advice.
For a first-time candidate running for local office, a typical week looks like this.
Do this week
- Host a finance committee callFive $1,000+ asks · closes your Q2 fundraising gap
- Knock 60 doors in Ward 2Highest undecided density in your district right now
- Lock 2 endorsementsCounty chair and teachers’ union — both verbally in
Low impact this week
- District-wide mailerName ID too low to convert · wait until September
- Candidate forum across the riverOutside your district · no persuadable voters there
- Daily social postingNo measurable lift at your stage · batch it weekly
Every recommendation is grounded in where your race stands this week — not a generic campaign checklist.
Built for candidates running without a campaign manager
Most first-time candidates make daily campaign decisions on their own — what to prioritize, what to skip, where they’re falling behind. Covenant generates a weekly briefing that names the single highest-leverage action for the day and flags what’s low-impact this week.
Covenant operates in NJ, NY, PA, CT, and MS for the 2026 pilot. The program is free this cycle.
