This fast-paced, one-hour virtual program brings together top political minds to break down the key races and results of 2025.

You’ll hear what drove voter behavior and turnout, what campaign tactics worked (and what didn’t), and what these outcomes mean for strategies heading into 2026 and beyond.

ABOUT THE TOP OPS AWARDS

In campaigns, it’s easy for candidates to seize the spotlight. But victory is often built by the people behind the scenes — the strategists, analysts, data whizzes, and operations pros whose work powers success. AAPC’s Top Ops Awards honors these indispensable operatives—Republicans and Democrats—whose expertise, innovation, and dedication shape results.
