My guess would be GAP focuses on recruiting existing politicians. I would be surprised if it’s a pre-existing community, of which some people decided to run for office and other community members donated and volunteered?
I agree. Sometimes it sounds like the OP would support political interventions like GAP’s PAC (“seeking to influence existing non-EA elected officials would be more effective”); I just wanted to note that EA political interventions aren’t inevitably Democratic.
It remains to be seen how effective they’ll be, but note that e.g. GAP is nonpartisan.
[Edit: oh, the OP already mentioned this!]

I agree, I think that GAP is probably very good. I mentioned it as being effective and bipartisan in footnotes 2 and 7.
