I am running for office and many days I doubt why I am doing this. Coming across your video helped me realize that jitters and doubts are normal. Thank you.
@@pyro265 I am a candidate but election isn't until next year. Right now we are raising funds. You can follow me on Facebook: April McDonald for Cobb County Commissioner for District 4.
Elise Parton is a shining light for the state of South Carolina. Yes, we need more qualified people running for office, but we needElise to run for a statewide office. Let's get with her and encourage her to run for Governor or the US senate. She can win and our state will benefit greatly! John Boudreaux
I have considered running for the local city council. She is right in my opinion, we need diversity and those who are not accustomed to running to run the government. Different viewpoints add diversity and maybe a better way of ruling.
@@fathergabrielstokes4706 If you have a good platform your constituents would overwhelmingly agree, a grassroots campaign limited only to small dollar donations would work splendidly and cost you very little. There are a few congresspeople that got elected with such campaigns, unseating some much better funded incumbents. (Although AFAIK from outside USA a lot of those good platforms like equality, environment protection/Paris agreement, education improvement, gun control, infrastructure investment etc leans Democrat, or if you dare to be that progressive Republican.)
@@fathergabrielstokes4706 AOC waited tables being basically penniless while campaigning and got elected to Congress, unseating a well funded incumbent using only small-dollar donations. If you have a good platform, go knock on doors and you will see folks start backing you.
@@benhines8227 I don’t think I have the backing to go against Allen West. But I’m interesting to see if you will lead us in the right direction in the next few years. I’m trying to gain some more knowledge and wisdom and insight before I make an official announcement.
Run for an office to change, enforce, or support the services the position is for what it is meant for. Do it for the morally right reasons. Do not run for office for your own self gain. This is the problem with government
Validate irrational thoughts, tell people what they want to hear, make lots of unrealistic promises, practice ethical flexibility and you should go far in politics!
Ktech2018 Elisha check your states election website, pick a position you want to run for, apply for the paperwork and someone from the elections office will contact you with nomination forms, from there you can ask them questions and send in emails of your nomination signatures to have them check how much are certified signatures before you submit your nomination forms. There’s a lot more which will also be in the election website. You need to also file a committee which you will need a bank account to have separate monies that you need to report. You have to open a business bank account for this so you need to file for an LLC in order to get the business bank account for your campaign committee
I am 14 and have my hopes to run as a libertarian for the CT state house at 18. Also I am autistic and want to be the second state representative that is autistic. I want to make a real change.
Depending on your town/city population, generally campaigning for mayor is one of the lowest political stances a person can hold. From there it goes from state senate/governor I’m assuming. You can also work executively as the assistant to your mayor/governor. Aim low first and see where you’re at.
I'm 14 years old. I want to one day be president of the United States but am kind of confused on how to make money since I'm not rich, also because the candidacy forms seem very confusing. Any tips?
I've never felt so attacked in my life. "have you ever raised money for something you believed in" Nope, only what the school made me raise money for, or what the boy scouts made me raise money for, or what the church had me raise money for. Nothing I've ever believed in though.
