Democrats for Education Reform (DFER) operates as a Political Action Committee focused on education policy in the United States. It supports Democrats and candidates who advocate policies and practices intended to improve outcomes for students, while challenging approaches that do not. The organization emphasizes pursuing policies that enable all students to access a competitive education, with particular attention to students from low-income families and students of color. Based in New York, United States, DFER positions itself within the public policy sector as an advocacy and policy-influencing body that concentrates on education issues in the Democratic sphere. The group maintains a relatively small staff. A notable recent development was the appointment of Jorge Elorza as chief executive officer in April 2023, marking a leadership change as it pursues its policy objectives.
