New York City Campaign Finance Board

Running for Office

At Mighty Oak, we’re proud to partner with the New York City Campaign Finance Board, an independent, nonpartisan city agency dedicated to enhancing local democracy. Together, we've created impactful videos to empower New Yorkers to actively participate in our democratic process.

Our latest video series is designed to:

  • Educate aspiring candidates on the requirements for running for office in New York City.

  • Inform them about campaign finance laws and the rules established by the NYCCFB.

  • Ensure maximum accessibility through dynamic graphics, animation, and experiential storytelling.

By demystifying the electoral process, we aim to prevent common pitfalls and encourage a more inclusive political landscape. Our democracy thrives when everyone is empowered to take part in shaping our city’s future.

This project reflects our ongoing passion for creative storytelling that drives real change. Highlighting the invaluable resources provided by the NYCCFB, we strive to support would-be candidates eager to make a difference in New York City. Together with the NYCCFB, let’s inspire New Yorkers to lead, build, and create a brighter, more inclusive future for us all.
