WHO WE ARE

Are you ready to run?
Running for political office changes many aspects of your life. Before jumping into a campaign, we ask all our clients to think through four questions that help them evaluate the opportunity.
1
Why are you running for this office?
This question is likely the first thing your friends, family, and voters will ask you when they find out you are running for office. People will want to know your motivations before they cand decide whether to trust you or your decision. You need to have a good answer at the ready.
2
What sort of impact will running for office (and serving in the office) have on your closest relationships and the way in which you support yourself or your family financially?
Do the people who are closest to you think this is a good idea? Do they think you will be good at the job you seek? Do they support you in this endeavor? What sort of obligations and commitments already claim your time?
3
What are your immediate roadblocks to success?
Every campaign faces challenges along the way. What are the challenges that you know about right now that the campaign will need to address from the beginning? Do you live in the district you hope to represent?
4
How will you fund the campaign?
Political campaigns are expensive endeavors. Very few candidates are in the position to write a check that covers the cost of the campaign. But even in the rare situations where someone could self-finance the entire operation, we still encourage those clients to raise money.
