Dean Corps is a program run by Democracy for America to further its goal of electing progressive Democrats at all levels of office in all 50 states. It is similar to Russ Feingold's Progressive Patriot program.
Piloting in 2010, Dean Corps will consist of hiring, training and placing field organizers on key progressive campaigns. The organizers will be operating in state and federal races and working directly under the auspices of the host campaign. DFA is committed to supporting progressive Democrats who have backbone with money, media, time, and people. Dean Corps provides the people part of that equation.
Unlike previous programs bearing similar names, the current version of Dean Corps bears the name of Democracy for America's Chair Jim Dean, brother of former Vermont Governor Howard Dean.
