Campaign Fundraising for Novato campaigns means donor research, call-time discipline, finance plans, and FPPC-ready reporting — sized to the Marin County voter universe rather than a national template. Novato has roughly 55,000 residents and 36,000 registered voters, which puts most local races inside a small-universe playbook where campaign fundraising is decisive. Novato's position as Marin's most affordable city attracts families priced out of southern Marin, creating a more moderate electorate than its progressive neighbors. The Hamilton Field military base redevelopment and wildfire risk shape every campaign. Our campaign fundraising program supports Novato candidates running for Novato City Council (5 members) and Novato Unified School District, plus county and ballot-measure efforts in Marin County.
