BDI’s Threats and Harassment Dataset (THD) captured 30 threat and harassment incidents targeting local officials in January 2025. The data shows an uptick in hostile incidents carried out by officials against other officials over local community-specific issues during the month, and hostility between colleagues during government meetings also contributed to a rise in in-person threat and harassment events. Overall, hostile activity continued at similar levels in January compared to December, which saw a decline from the surge in threats and harassment around the election in November and a return to baseline trends recorded in previous years.

Local monitoring is essential for identifying early warning signs. BDI produces regular national situation reports (SitReps) on key risk trends at the national and state level, disseminated to a vetted list of community leaders and organizations.

Following an increase in hostile incidents leading up to the 2024 election, the latest results from the BDI-CivicPulse survey of local elected officials indicate that both hostile experiences and worry about future hostility remained at elevated levels through the final quarter of the year.
