Training the Next Generation of Leaders
In August 2025, the program hosted a three-day intensive Data Bootcamp with over 45 data professionals working in various states.
The DNC National Training Program recently appointed Morgan Hine as National Training Director. Hine, a former Idaho field organizer, oversees a newly independent department dedicated to equipping Democratic staff and candidates with essential leadership and technical skills.
Key Takeaways:
Departmental Elevation: Training is now a standalone DNC department, emphasizing a commitment to long-term infrastructure and professional development.
Bootcamp Strategy: The program uses intensive training models, including a recent three-day Data Bootcamp and plans for four regional bootcamps in 2026.
Pipeline Support: The initiative bridges the gap between education and employment by matching trained staffers with roles in local and state campaigns.
Proven Impact: Having already trained over 1,550 individuals in 2025, the team continues to expand its reach through travel scholarships funded by grassroots donations.
Under Hine’s leadership, the department serves as a vital hub for resources to ensure local leaders are prepared for upcoming election cycles.
