So You Want to Run for Elected Office?
If you've ever run for office or contemplated doing so, you know what a terrifying, yet exhiliarating, experience it is! LCDW has put together a handbook containing all the information we wish someone had told us before taking the plunge.
A Peek Inside ...
"Campaigns are about highs and lows, ups and downs. It will help to have a mentor you can call all the time and any time." - Chapter 2:
I'm In - What's Next?
"Your message must be STRATEGIC - the issues that are most important to you as a person, or that inspired and motivated you to run in the first place, may not be the most strategic message for the campaign." - Chapter 5: What's My Campaign Message?
"People remember best what they hear first, forget first the things in the middle, and remember second best what they hear last. No one remembers a laundry list. If you jam in too much, you risk that they will remember things you did not say." - Chapter 6: Delivering Your Message
