Description
From city councils to governorships, from county commissioners to coroners, there are thousands of contested or vacant elected offices each year throughout the United States. In Political Tool Kit, author Ron Parsons provides a practical guide for citizens who are seeking an opportunity to participate in the democratic process through political candidacy. Based on his education and personal experience, Ron offers a step-by-step, sequential model that candidates can mold to fit their candidacies by making their campaigns unique. Political Tool Kit merges contemporary and traditional political organizational structures to address a myriad of tasks, such as fundraising, advertising, nominating petitions, and scheduling, while detailing job functions and tasks. This campaign model adopts modern communications tools through optimizing the Internet and cutting-edge mobile devices. It also includes a range of resources, such as a campaign budget, letters to the editor, mailings, and canvassing techniques. Political Tool Kit offers the tools to build a process that enables candidates to grow to their full potential. The winning ideals embedded within a campaign will follow candidates throughout their political careers.
