I find it hilarious that there is a "wanna be" hierarchy in place locally that believes that only they can tell you how local elections should be conducted and planned.
Some also act as if they know something you don't know or try to tell everyone that they have super inclusive inside information that only they know about. It's just a trick they use to try to stay relevant. 🤣
That's where I come in... and a group of others that shall remain nameless. We are here to expose these people and we did it in the city council election, and the county commissioner race a few years back, and will continue to do so.
I have a reach of thousands of people between my more than 25 local groups, including 2 political groups that I'm currently the administrator of with a combined reach of about 100,000. Add my podcast... and my reach is well over 150,000.
The best part is that when you hear these fools talk they alway have a list of rules, or things they want to hear from potential political candidates about where they stand on the issues, but... the political candidates they support or endorse are excluded from said rules. 🤣
( Example: Nobody cares that you worked with your "Daddy" on the Marion Theater in 2012 on his "pet project".)
Though that's really honorable about your "Daddy"... he isn't running. YOU are.
This is 2022. We want to hear what YOU have done on your own and what YOU stand for all alone.
Unfortunately, you'll never see these "so called" political consultants/strategists, media pundits, and pathetic cheerleaders, ask their candidates the tough questions.
Nope...
They'll save the "gotcha" questions for their opposing candidate/candidates then... when they can't show up to be interviewed or a debate ridicule and mock them claiming they are unfit to run.
And, let's not forget the dirty tactics they use like saying their candidate of choice political signs are "disappearing" or have "been moved" and the funniest part is when they claim they have it all on video tape and "it's coming soon"... but they can never show that evidence. 🤣
You see... those shady tactics might have worked in this area 20-25 years ago but not anymore.
1.) To potential political candidates: Don't take advice from political consultant/consultants/strategist or whatever they want to call themselves where their candidate/ candidates of choice continue to lose election after election. ( Message me and i'll tell you who these people are )
That should be an immediate red flag 🚩 that they don't know what they are doing and to just walk away because guess what? 🤔
More than likely you simply associating with them is enough for you to lose. 🤷♂️
2.) Don't let ANY political consultant/strategist try to tell you that good old fashioned going door-to-door, putting in the effort, meeting your constituents doesn't work. It DOES! You may meet a voter that's on the fence about you and hasn't made up their mind... and just you running into them that day might be the day they decide to vote for you come election time. 🤷♂️
3.) Step outside the box and put yourself out there... in essence, have a platform in place and when people ask you questions be well prepared. Be a people person.
