If you have listened to the Commonwealthy podcast before, then you know I am passionate about helping people run for local political offices. But why? Today I am going to cover why it is so important for people like yourself to set up and run in local political campaigns.
I am also going to cover the three essential elements in a political campaign. If you find yourself overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done to run for local office, then this is the podcast for you! I will boil it down to the basic core of how to get started in a political campaign.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why you should run for local office– learn the importance of having good people with common sense running for local political offices
