Campaigning in Europe with Josef Lentsch of Partisan
by Caitlin Huxley
from Episode 6 of The Art of Campaigns
This episode I talk to Josef Lentsch, co-founder of Partisan.community and organizer of the Political Tech Summit, about how European elections actually work. We cover why there isn’t one "European system," how public financing shapes campaigns, and what U.S. strategists get wrong about the EU. Josef explains the rise of small parties, GDPR and data limits, and why relational organizing is still underused in Europe. We also dig into the German Left’s digital comeback, the growth of political-tech vendors, and the future of campaign innovation across Europe.
