Anyone who has worked at a state party knows that it’s a juggling act. On a daily basis, we’re supporting candidates, interfacing with our partners at the county level, assisting the efforts of the coordinated campaign, and more. We’re always stretched for resources and time. Earlier this year, we started the Empower Engine data visualization platform to help us meet these challenges and to support our partners in this fast-paced environment.

Maps are a cornerstone of good data visualization. They give you the opportunity to visualize huge amounts of data in a way that anyone can understand. But most mapping software is extremely complicated, taking months or years to master it.

With Empower Engine you can make a map of your campaign data in three clicks

Empower Engine has made this easy for us. If I want to see a map of the voter contact in St. Louis County, our Data Team can create that in less than a minute, even with no background in coding or GIS. Thanks to their ability to integrate with our data, we can see the impact of our work change over time. This will help us drive resource allocation and strategy as the elections draw near.

Since we’re working with so many different partners who possess varying degrees of technical expertise, the ability to quickly create and share these visualizations has made maps a bigger part of the support we can offer.
