DLCC and NGP VAN Form Technology Partnership

WASHINGTON, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) and NGP VAN have partnered to bring state legislative candidates across the country DLCC Go, a unique suite of integrated and affordable new media, fundraising, and field campaign tools that will give Democratic campaigns of all sizes a competitive technology edge.

State legislative campaigns can take advantage of DLCC Go (www.DLCCGo.com) to easily publish a professional website, send broadcast emails, manage fundraising online and off, and integrate their website with the VAN field tool most Democratic campaigns use. From Maine to California, DLCC Go lets any state legislative campaign — big or small — take advantage of the best integrated campaign technology available to Democrats. The DLCC has made DLCC Go affordable by negotiating an economy of scale price with NGP VAN, a Democratic campaign technology company.

"Since our inception, the DLCC has worked to make the most sophisticated campaign tools affordable and accessible for Democratic state legislative candidates across the country," said DLCC Executive Director Michael Sargeant. "Through DLCC Go, candidates now have affordable access to NGP VAN's advanced online toolkit, including a website platform that is fully integrated with their fundraising and field tools. These same tools are already used by countless congressional candidates across the country, and with DLCC Go, all state legislative campaigns can now afford them as well."

"Several years ago, we started an initiative to build out our state legislative program after we realized that there were hundreds of Democratic state legislative campaigns who could greatly benefit from our website platform and core toolset if we simply made it more affordable and accessible. We've had hundreds of campaigns and every active Democratic caucus sign on to our tools in some fashion." says Stu Trevelyan, CEO of NGP VAN. "This partnership and DLCC Go are important steps forward in helping even more Democratic state legislative candidates get a technology edge."
