Theory of Change is the campaign newsletter for the Andy Ellis for Governor Campaign

A theory of change (ToC) is an explicit theory of how and why it is thought that a social policy or program activities lead to outcomes and impacts. - Wikipedia

This "theory of change" is almost always missing in discussions and debates about the role of third parties in the so-called "two party system.

As a candidate, an activist, an advocate, and as a voter, it is essential to be able to explain the why and the how of Green Party and Third party politics.

I will use this newsletter to attempt to answer those questions. My vision includes original op-eds, essays, speeches, and other pieces that go into more depth than the content on the website or social media. I will share some good content from other people,and I may at some point include original writing  from people who want to collaborate on this project.

The focus will include policy, theory, history, political science, data.

Funding the Campaign

While I want to make sure that all of the information is available to everybody, I would like to use this newsletter to raise funds for the campaign. Not only do i think this is a newsletter worth a five dollar a month subscription, I also recognize that one of the biggest barriers to grassroots third parties trying to compete in a two party system is the access to campaign funds.

Predictable, small dollar recurring donations are a great way to build a campaign!
