American Government
Section 2 Project:
1. I am affiliated with the Democratic Party. Like many Democrats, I believe that the government is responsible for taking care of all American citizens, and aim to direct my votes towards bills and laws with this kind of ideology. The Democratic Party can help me get elected by first nominating me, informing the public and activating their interest and participation in public affairs. They can also hold Democratic Party fundraisers to raise funds for my campaign. Yes, the coattail effect from a Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party will play a role in the election. Right now, we have a Democratic President that is popular in the state of California. I believe that “riding on Obama’s coattails” will help me to succeed in this election.
2. To convince voters to come out and vote for me, I will host many public events were I talk very passionately about the issues that I strongly believe in, and in turn, what I can about these issues for the public. I will make sure to visit a lot of different communities that vary in income, age, ethnic background, and geography and address each communities individual issues and concerns. Non-voters could be a huge impact on the outcome of the election. Hopefully, with my community visits, non-voters will be attracted by my dedication to all citizens of California. In most of California, registration and polling places are not an issue. However, if there are a few communities that are affected by limitations on registration and polling places, I would suggest that they use mail ballots, which are convenient and simple.
3. I would get nominated by proving to my party committee that I am a worthy candidate and will be successful and popular in the election. To ensure maximum efficiency, I would hire the best staff possible. I would hire multiple campaign managers and political consultants who would brainstorm ideas together to perfect my campaign
