Our Culture
Our work makes a meaningful difference in the lives of people around the country.
While politics and campaigns have become increasingly unpleasant, if not downright mean, at Ballotpedia we’re drawn to what’s good, important, and even inspiring in politics. We help people from all walks of life maintain their hope that they can make our country and the world a better place through their engagement in the electoral process. We owe it to them to be at the top of our game, and to produce the best work possible.
At Ballotpedia, we lean into that challenge.
We work together best, and succeed for our readers, by exemplifying the values described below.
We foster collaboration, innovation, and mutual respect.
A creative and respectful culture, embraced by everyone in the workplace, promotes effective problem-solving and continuous improvement.
Striving to “make it better,” we champion innovation and invention. We show appreciation to the people we collaborate with (coworkers, managers, donors, readers, clients, and customers alike) and take pleasure in supporting and recognizing each other's growth and achievements.
Our individual actions have the power to motivate and galvanize each other and the entire organization. And that puts the wind beneath our wings as we achieve the vexing but exhilarating mission of making it easier for people to understand and meaningfully engage in politics at all levels.
