Intelligence

“What issues move this district?”

A campaign that borrows national rhetoric sounds like every other campaign. BlueList’s Strategic Intelligence Reports replace that with the district’s own numbers: what households here pay, what they earn, what is being built, what is at risk — each report a district-level briefing on one issue, assembled from named public sources, with the messaging lanes the data actually supports. Twenty briefings, one family, one flat price per report in your state.

Twenty district issue briefings

Grouped in four sub-families. Ordered singly, as a multi-issue district pack, or as a multi-district comparison across a committee’s slate.

Cost of Living & Household Pressure
SIR02District Issue Brief

Utility Rate Intelligence

What households pay to keep the lights on: rate cases pending before the state utility regulator, average monthly bill by district, the change since 2020, and expected decision dates — framed for the voter’s pocketbook. Doubles as race intelligence for utility-commission contests.

SIR06District Issue Brief

Housing Instability Intelligence

Rent pressure at the district level: eviction filing rates, rent-burdened household share, median rent and how it has moved, and where the pressure concentrates inside the district — the renter’s side of the affordability story.

SIR16District Issue Brief

Safety Net & Benefits Intelligence

How much of a district’s income arrives as federal transfers: SNAP receipt, Social Security and SSI beneficiaries and dollars, disability share — the district-numbers version of the benefits-cuts story, presented honestly rather than modeled.

Natural Resources & Environment
SIR01District Issue Brief

Water Risk Intelligence

District-level water supply risk where water decides races: groundwater trends, provider service areas, and drought status, scored 0–10 with a provider-level breakdown and a narrative that frames water security in local terms.

SIR04District Issue Brief

Environmental District Profile

Environmental burden by district: fine particulates, ozone, diesel particulate, and Superfund proximity, cross-referenced with the state’s regulated-facility inventory — identifying districts carrying a disproportionate share.

SIR20District Issue Brief

Extreme Heat & Heat Deaths Intelligence

Heat as a political issue, in season: confirmed heat mortality and morbidity from public health surveillance, the heat-health infrastructure that exists, and a vulnerability overlay showing which neighborhoods carry the risk.

Public Institutions & Human Services
SIR03District Issue Brief

Education & ESA Intelligence

School performance and voucher outflow: how many voucher dollars are leaving district public schools, what that represents per remaining student, and how performance compares to the state average — built for school board and legislative races where public education funding is the central issue.

SIR05District Issue Brief

Reproductive Health Access Intelligence

Licensed reproductive health providers mapped against the district: OB/GYN density per 10,000 women, provider counts, distance to the nearest provider, and county-level maternal health context.

SIR09District Issue Brief

Healthcare District Intelligence

The flagship healthcare landscape report: insurance coverage, provider access, health outcomes, and cost burden — four dimensions, scored, with district typologies and three-lane messaging guidance.

SIR11District Issue Brief

Gun Violence Intelligence

State-level firearm mortality context for candidates running on gun-violence-prevention messaging — every figure verified against the CDC’s own published data, with no interpolated or modeled numbers.

SIR12District Issue Brief

Opioid Intelligence

Treatment-access infrastructure by county — health-center density as an explicitly labeled access proxy — alongside state-vs-national overdose mortality context, both from named federal sources.

SIR13District Issue Brief

Seniors Intelligence

The district’s senior population in numbers: 65+ share, senior poverty, and how the district compares to the state — for candidates running on senior services, Medicare, or aging-in-place messaging.

SIR14District Issue Brief

Veterans Intelligence

The district’s veteran population profile from Census data — share, comparison to state average — for candidates and committees running on veterans’-services messaging.

SIR26District Issue Brief

Justice System Performance & Costs Intelligence

Deliberately not a crime-rate report: per-agency case clearance rates, police staffing, corrections populations by facility, and the cost contrast between incarceration and community supervision — built for county-level races: supervisor, sheriff, county attorney.

SIR27District Issue Brief

Tribal & Native Communities Intelligence

Tribal and Native communities for candidates who need to understand and serve them: a reservation-by-district population atlas, per-tribe federal investment scorecards, connectivity gaps, and turnout trends — engagement-framed, a public-data summary that is never a substitute for direct consultation.

Economic Footprint & Place
SIR07District Issue Brief

Federal Investment Intelligence

Federal awards flowing into the district, summarized by agency, recipient, and program — with infrastructure-law and IRA awards tagged for “what’s at stake” messaging in congressional races.

SIR08District Issue Brief

Rural District Profile

A comprehensive economic profile for rural districts the metro-centric vendors underserve: agricultural data, employment and wages, and income distribution, with each district’s primary economic driver identified.

SIR10District Issue Brief

Local Business Climate & Economic Activity

Who employs people here, what industries are growing, where are the pressure points — employer base, wages, business formation, small business depth, and development momentum, with a six-dimension economic scorecard and peer benchmarking.

SIR21District Issue Brief

Labor & Worker Power Intelligence

The worker’s side of the economy: wages against cost benchmarks, wage-theft enforcement, workplace safety records, union organizing activity, and layoff events — built for union political programs making endorsement and independent-expenditure decisions.

SIR25District Issue Brief

Broadband & Digital Divide Intelligence

Who is served, who actually subscribes, and where the federal build-out money is going — district-level broadband availability, subscription gaps, and construction dollars, plus the affordability cliff left by the ACP’s end.

How these are built

The same discipline underlies all twenty. Where a step does not apply, the report says so.

01
Public data, named in place. Every figure names the agency, dataset, and vintage it came from — Census, CDC, HUD, HRSA, EPA, USASpending, FCC, the state’s own agencies — so a client can go check it, and a stale figure is visibly stale rather than quietly wrong.
02
Nothing is interpolated to fill a gap. Where a source is suppressed, lagged, or simply not published for a jurisdiction, the report says so in place of the answer. A proxy measure is always labeled as a proxy, with what it does and does not capture stated next to it.
03
Geography is honest. Some sources publish at the district level, some at county, some at tract. Each report states the level its claims are actually supported at, and never silently promotes a county number to a district claim.
04
Every source is licence-checked before it ships in a paid report. Datasets that restrict commercial use are excluded rather than quietly included — and where that leaves a gap, the report declares the gap instead of substituting something that measures a different thing under the same name.
05
Framing is included, invention is not. Each report closes with messaging guidance grounded in the district’s own numbers — which lanes the data supports, and which claims it will not carry.

Coverage & scope

What travels between states, and what has to be checked first.

One flat price per report, set by your state.

Every Strategic Intelligence Report is the same class of deliverable — a district or jurisdiction issue briefing — so the price does not vary by which issue you pick. It varies only by where you are: each state carries one pricing tier, derived from the size of its political market, and any issue report costs the same flat price in your state. Two reports or a multi-issue district pack are quoted from the same ladder. Pricing is shared after a short intake confirms the campaign or organization — see how approval works.

Developed in Arizona. Assembled per jurisdiction.

These reports were developed and proven in Arizona, and each one is assembled for a specific district from that jurisdiction’s own public data — most of it federal and uniform (Census, CDC, HUD, EPA, USASpending, FCC), some of it state-published and therefore assessed per state. The issue mix is regional by nature: water risk and extreme heat decide races in the Southwest; other districts run on housing, broadband, or the safety net. BlueList assesses source coverage for your jurisdiction before quoting, so what is promised is what ships.

What these are not

Not polling, and not a poll substitute — these reports say what is true in the district, not what voters currently believe. Not opposition research — that is the Race Intelligence catalog. And none of them requires voter-file data: they are built from public statistical sources, which also makes them usable by advocacy organizations that cannot touch a voter file.

Run on what is true here.

Tell us the district and the issues that are moving it. We will tell you which reports fit, what they cover in your jurisdiction, and the flat price in your state.
