Building a Movement of Results-Driven Local Officials

Founded as part of the broader Abundance Network, the Abundance Elected Network is a selective community of local elected officials serving in a city or county government who are committed to practical, results-oriented governance that removes barriers, modernizes systems, and delivers tangible outcomes for communities.

Why Local Government?

Local leaders are uniquely positioned to implement policy that improves everyday lives. We’re building a network of electeds who can lead boldly at this level.
