THE DROPOUT PLEDGE

A trusted way to prove you’re listening.

Jim Walden’s
challenge created a new test in the NYC Mayoral race: will candidates honor their word and let voters decide who stays? The pledge forces accountability into the open — not left to closed-door bargains.

SEED is the neutral arena built for this moment — with sourced profiles and transparent tallies that let campaigns:

  • Demonstrate legitimacy by joining an open, voter-driven process.

  • Get early insights into where independents and undecideds are leaning.

  • Preview ranked choice with first-choice depth and transfer strength down ballot.

  • Calibrate turnout with visibility into participation levels and bloc enthusiasm.

  • Stand apart by showing you put New Yorkers first.

This isn’t just a test for voters — it’s a chance for your campaign to lead.
