Campaign Fundraising for San Rafael 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. San Rafael has roughly 61,000 residents and 36,000 registered voters, which puts most local races inside a small-universe playbook where campaign fundraising is decisive. As the Marin County seat, San Rafael has the county's most diverse population, particularly in the Canal district with its large Latino community. District-based elections have increased representation and created distinct campaign strategies for each area. Local issues we build San Rafael messaging around: Housing affordability and homelessness; Canal neighborhood equity; Downtown revitalization. Our campaign fundraising program supports San Rafael candidates running for San Rafael City Council (5 members, by district) and San Rafael City Schools, plus county and ballot-measure efforts in Marin County.
