CIVICPULSE

CivicPulse was founded in 2018 by Stanford PhD students. While pursuing our research interests in local government, we discovered that the United States lacked a reliable national data source on the backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences of the more than 200,000 local government leaders who enact and implement the policies that shape our day-to-day lives... CivicPulse is a nonprofit organization focused on expanding knowledge both of and for government officials in the United States. It is a non-partisan, non-advocacy research initiative which conducts surveys of U.S. government officials at the local, state, and federal levels... In starting CivicPulse, we aspired to build a collaborative platform for generating shared insights for both researchers like ourselves and the broader civic community. Since then, our committed team has completed surveys, released data, and reported on a wide array of issues facing local governments across the United States.
