The Sinclair theme (by Chooza) is a purpose-built WordPress theme designed for political candidates, grassroots campaigns, and legal activists. In 2026, it remains a favorite for regional and national campaigns because it balances high-end "Big Tech" aesthetics with the specific legal and financial requirements of political fundraising.
Unlike a standard business theme, Sinclair is built to handle high-traffic spikes (like during a debate or election night) and secure donation processing.
Sinclair’s most critical feature is its native integration with powerful donation systems.
GiveWP & Charitable Integration: It is fully styled for the most popular WordPress donation plugins, allowing for recurring donations, "Donation Tiers" (e.g., $25, $50, $100), and custom progress bars to show how close you are to your goal.
ActBlue & WinRed Compatibility: It includes specialized "Button Blocks" designed to link out to major political fundraising platforms seamlessly, maintaining a consistent look so donors don't feel like they've left your site.
Campaign Compliance: Includes pre-built footer sections for mandatory "Paid for by..." legal disclaimers.
Sinclair uses a modern vertical parallax style that works exceptionally well for "Issues" pages.
The "Candidate’s Journey": You can create long-form pages where the candidate’s portrait stays fixed on one side while their policy positions and life story scroll on the other.
Responsive Parallax: It uses a lightweight CSS-based parallax engine, ensuring that the smooth scrolling effect doesn't "jitter" on older smartphones or slower mobile data—a common issue with cheaper political themes.
Events Calendar: A built-in system to list town halls, rallies, and volunteer meetups.
Volunteer Sign-Up: Custom-styled forms specifically for recruiting "boots on the ground," integrated with Mailchimp to grow your voter list.
Countdown Timer: A cutting-edge, dynamic clock for the header or hero section to build urgency as Election Day approaches.

Political websites often look dated or cluttered. Sinclair is "cutting-edge" because it uses white space and bold typography to look like a modern tech startup rather than a 1990s campaign leaflet. This helps attract younger voters and gives the candidate an "innovative" edge.
Would you like me to compare Sinclair’s donation features with the "Nominee" theme, or do you need help setting up a "Volunteer Recruitment" form for your campaign?
