Where Do I Even Begin? Advice for Your Campaign Strategy in this Moment
Join this live session and ask your questions about how to run for office during these uncertain times. Campaign expert Eva Pusateri will discuss the immediate and pressing challenges, along with initial practical advice, about the current situation facing candidates running this year, including dealing with a lack of clarity about election processes and connecting to voters in a time of social distancing. We’ll then open up the session to address your individual questions and circumstances. 

Tuesday, April 14th, 1 pm (1 hour)  Registration will open after Part 1.
Next Steps: Moving Forward with a Structured Campaign Plan 
During Part 2, Pusateri will provide a focused overview of key elements of your newly restructured campaign plan, including practical tips for voter contact, message development, and working with a campaign team virtually. She’ll address how to start assessing and restructuring your campaign to reflect the new reality we are living in, how to build a voter contact operation along social distancing guidelines, and more.
