Without a doubt, the most successful political campaigns are the ones that reach the most voters. There are many ways your campaign can reach voters, including social media posts, writing op-eds for your local newspaper, blog posts, or door-knocking. But perhaps that best way to reach the greatest number of voters with a personal touch…
You’ve thrown your hat into the political ring. You’ve shared your passion with family and close friends and they’re all in. Now you need to get more volunteers.
Successful national, state, or local political campaigns are rooted in the simple assertion that personal, one-on-one face-time with constituents and potential voters really matters.
Attending events is part of running for office. When possible, you should go to events organized by others, in the spirit of meeting people where they are. Sometimes, this could be something as low-key as a meeting in a neighbor’s living room.
For any campaign for office, much is decided before Election Day even arrives. Sometimes things remain undecided after it. This can include the outcome of the election.
Fundraising groundwork should begin well before you file any official paperwork for your campaign.
Regular, ordinary, everyday people from outside politics can run for office, and win. They often make some of the best candidates.
You should seek endorsements because an endorsement is an identified source for support. And if you’re running for office – you need support!
Digital media is an asset to your campaign. It’s a cost-effective tool to reach voters – and remember to keep it simple!
Every candidate needs yard signs, right? Not necessarily, but if you do choose to buy campaign signs, be smart about it.
