Run for Something Action Fund Launches Groundbreaking Next-Gen Tool to Help Candidates Engage Voters Turning to AI

CampSight provides personalized analysis and recommendations on how voters are interacting with AI chatbots and how campaigns can influence them

NEW YORK — Today, Run for Something (RFS), the leading national organization that recruits and supports the next generation of progressive leaders for state and local office, announced a groundbreaking new tool developed by Run for Something Action Fund that allows political candidates to track and improve how AI chatbots like ChatGPT discuss their campaigns. Run for Something Action Fund’s tool, CampSight, has already been used to track and analyze over 300,000 campaign-focused conversations with AI chatbots. It fills a void for campaigns and organizations by offering personalized dashboards with live updates of how AI chatbots are describing them and their opponents, analysis on information gaps, and recommendations to shift the narrative. 

“This country needs change, and we can’t elect a new generation of candidates without a new generation of tools that speak to the challenges they navigate in our shifting digital landscape,” said Run for Something and Run for Something Action Fund co-founder and President Amanda Litman. “Campaigns can no longer rely on just knocking on doors or dialing phones; they have to also consider where voters are really going to learn about them. Millions of people will turn to AI chatbots this year for information about their elections, and CampSight will help candidates create an informed strategy to meet them where they are.”

“This election is going to be the first AI-native election, and AI is already influencing how we communicate, what information voters get, and where they get it,” said Run for Something and Run for Something Action Fund Chief Technology Officer Jordan Haines. “CampSight gives campaigns and candidates a look at exactly what voters are hearing from AI chatbots and offers those candidates a playbook to change it. This is the future of political campaigning and political communications, and it is about helping to reach voters while also curbing the mis- and disinformation that’s plaguing politics.”

CampSight seeks to answer two foundational questions: What are AI chatbots actually telling voters about candidates, and what can campaigns do to improve those answers and provide accurate information? The new tool provides candidates with a window into their visibility and narratives on AI chatbots, including by: 

  • identifying gaps between how candidates describe themselves and how AI describes them;
  • tracking sources and attributions that chatbots pull from;
  • making actionable recommendations to improve responses;
  • benchmarking metrics against other campaigns; and,
  • flagging emergent narratives and sources that may be a source of mis- and disinformation

The 2026 midterm elections will be among the first AI-driven cycles, and millions of voters are likely to ask AI for information on how they should vote. Voters are particularly likely to turn to AI to learn about state and local races, like the ones Run for Something’s candidates run in, where information about candidates is more difficult to find. While CampSight can help campaigns up and down the ticket, the tool offers down-ballot candidates with low budgets a high-tech platform to help inform their campaign strategies so they can level the playing field with tactics typically only available to big-ticket races. 

CampSight has uses beyond just political campaigns. The tool offers issue-based organizations a better understanding of how chatbots are discussing issues, ballot measures, endorsements, and organizations at large so they can create an informed strategy to better meet their goals. CampSight can also empower media organizations to monitor how a portfolio of digital assets are showing up in AI answers, with breakdowns by geography, office type, and issues discussed.
