Step1

Map Your Community and Identify Bridge-Builders

Community mapping starts with the large question - what shapes and defines a community?  Before you start a campaign, you should get to know well the community resources and networks in your district. 

Step2

Schedule 1:1's

A "one-to-one" is an intentional conversation and one of the fundamental tools in the organizer's toolbox.  For a potential candidate, it is an opportunity to start or solidify a relationship with key members of your community. 

Step3

Show up and Chip in!

As you consider a run for office, it is important that you become (or maintain) a visible and valued presence in community affairs.  This means not just showing up and shaking hands, but actively supporting and engaging with the community. 

Step4

Get and Stay Informed

You will need to become a voracious consumer of news and information coming out of your community.

Step5

Track Everything

The earlier you set up systems for keeping track of information, the faster you'll be able to hit the ground running in a campaign.
