BARRIER TO ENTRY is a term describing factors that prevent newcomers from entering a market or industry sector, limiting both accessibility and competition. Barriers include high start-up costs, hurdles, or other obstacles that prevent workers and entrepreneurs from easily entering a sector.

We, as Democrats, should work to dismantle barriers to entry for interns, staff, and candidates so our government can reflect its people.

BARRIER TO ENTRY PAC supports candidates and campaign staff from working class backgrounds as they carve their paths in the Democratic political space.

BARRIER TO ENTRY PAC provides candidates and staff from working class backgrounds with direct cash assistance for things like phones, cars, laptops, moving and living stipends.

BARRIER TO ENTRY PAC is a resource for 1:1 mentorship and training to ensure candidates and staff feel supported and are equipped with the resources they need to be successful.

TESTIMONIALS

 

As someone who is passionate about my city and public policy, I was excited to run for Dayton City Commission. As a first-time candidate with no political background, I didn't quite know where to start.

Barrier to Entry PAC helped me get organized to successfully get on the ballot. They helped me obtain candidate training and financial resources early on that were necessary to make my campaign competitive. Now, I'm running a strong, progressive campaign in my community.

Barrier to Entry PAC has helped me find the confidence and most importantly, the financial resources to continue pursuing this very important work in the political organizing space. I don’t come from a family of elected officials, but I have found a way to navigate this industry with the help of good mentors and allies. Knowing Barrier To Entry has my back has made it that much more worthwhile.
