Stronger Employers.
Stronger Campaigns.
Stronger Democracy.
GAIN Power has partnered with Management Personnel Xchange (MPX) to help campaigns and progressive organizations offer payroll, benefits, and HR support designed specifically for political work. When organizations can hire and retain stronger teams, they compete better — and our democracy is stronger for it.
The Challenge
The reality of political work
Campaigns and progressive organizations are built to win elections and advance policy. But they face real operational challenges that affect their ability to compete.
Payroll complexity
Multi-state rules, compliance, and administration drain time and resources.
Healthcare access
Staff lose benefits between roles — a leading reason talent leaves the field.
HR compliance
Employment law for campaigns is complex, high-risk, and often misunderstood.
Employment gaps
Campaigns end. Talented professionals leave the movement when continuity breaks.
Retention challenges
Without competitive packages, orgs struggle to recruit and keep top talent.
Long-term capacity
The movement loses institutional knowledge every cycle. We can change that.
The Opportunity
When employers are stronger, campaigns win more
When organizations offer strong employment infrastructure, the entire movement benefits. Professionals stay in the field. Knowledge carries forward. Teams are more competitive. Elections are won.
Attract stronger candidates for open roles
Reduce burnout and turnover between cycles
Retain institutional knowledge and experience
Build professional credibility as an employer
Win more consistently with stable, experienced teams
