Content: Volunteer for A Local Candidate’s Campaign
Not ready to fully step into the candidate position just yet but curious what goes into running for local office? Start by volunteering for your local candidate’s campaign. Local elections happen every single year across the country so be sure to check when your state’s elections for state and local government are. Local candidates will often rely heavily on volunteers to help them get out the vote, host events, and spread the word about their campaign. Volunteers often go door knocking, which is going door to door in a certain area to share information about your candidate and ask citizens who they plan on voting for on Election Day. This is a great way to learn more about what your community is looking for in its leadership and get to know the lay of the land. And if you’re interested in running for local office one day, there’s no better way to learn how to run a campaign for a local position than to join one yourself. You’ll get to know the candidate more personally than you would for a congressional race and see up close what the day-to-day of a local campaign is like. Next time you see a yard sign with a candidate’s name or hear about someone running for city council in your town, check them out. Read their story, their platform, and sign up to volunteer.
