If you’re following the news, you’ll know that there is lots of mystery and intrigue surrounding elections right now. Lines are being drawn in the sand, and no matter where you fall politically, if you’re running for office in 2021, there’s one truth that you’re going to have to face: You’re going to have to deal with all of it.
For the next several months, as a campaigning candidate for political office you will be asking people for things – their vote, their money, to share things on social media, to talk to their friends and “spread the word,” media coverage, and so on and so on.
