Giving time can pay off in the future. Go to the polls in the Democratic or Republican Party primaries to choose candidates for public office, then return for precinct caucuses after the polls close. Learn the procedures for winning election as precinct officers and delegates to county or senatorial district conventions. Learn how to offer resolutions at the convention. Resolutions approved at county and district conventions are up for consideration at the state conventions in June.
Timing is key.
Ideally, run for an open position. But when challenging an incumbent, pick a particular issue. The issue should affect the office sought and galvanize the public. Refrain from making negative remarks about an opponent, and instruct campaign workers to lay off as well. E.W. Scripps Publications , All Rights Reserved.
