With many notable upcoming consequential elections in 2024, Robert Schwartz and Brandon Dahl [PN'99] founded the nonprofit organization PrimaryPower to empower voters to participate in their primary elections and caucuses.

Primary Power provides voters with the tools to register and participate, and encourages them to think strategically about which primary election to participate in. Sometimes the answer isn't as straightforward as voting for the candidate you would like to see win in the general election--that is for voters to decide.
