BDI's CivicPulse UTH survey reveals that experiences and concerns of local officials around hostility remain widespread and on par with last quarter. Women, younger, and minority officials continue to report significantly more identity-based hostility and negative impacts. Worries about hostility largely continue to cut across party lines. Overall, officials support a wide range of actions to reduce their concerns about hostility and build a sense of security.

Threat and harassment incidents against local officials rose from August to September. The latest Threats and Harassment Dataset (THD) update captured 70 new events, including almost 60 for September, bringing the total number of events recorded so far in 2025 to over 400.
