Know What You Think, Politically of Course
This week Kristina “Tina” Keats is joining me again to talk about figuring out what you think about issues before you run for office. When you are a candidate for a local office and talking with people in the community, you will need to have answers on where you stand on a wide variety of issues. Today we will be discussing how you can prepare ahead of time so that you are ready with a good answer when those questions come your way!
I am excited to cover this topic with Tina today since it is so crucial to be successful in politics. Your stance on a wide variety of political issues is one of the determining factors as to whether or not someone will vote for you. We want to see you win your election, and today we are going to show you one way to make sure you have a fighting chance!
