There is a reason people don’t enter politics, especially in today’s political climate. The abundance of negative campaigning, as well as the intimidation of fundraising and running a campaign, make it challenging to find qualified individuals to serve.
If you’re willing to serve, we’re willing to help.
We are committed to removing as many barriers to entering public service as possible. We’re equally committed to doing this without the exchange of financial resources.
We will provide qualified candidates with the following in kind support:
-
- A custom built website and web hosting through the election cycle,
- Candidates will appear on a slate of candidates through the election cycle and will be promoted as such;
- Targeted voter data files for online marketing & support with online messaging and advertising campaigns;
- Print design services and mailing lists for targeted voter mailers;
- Canvassing lists organized by census tracts;
- Access to a peer support group facilitated by individuals well versed in Nevada politics;
- Access to a maintained list of potential endorsement opportunities and candidate events statewide; and
- Ongoing support as requested.
In exchange for this support, candidates must be willing to adhere to the following positive campaign practices:
-
- No negative campaigning – Candidates may respectfully criticize policy decisions, but will refrain from personal attacks and political theater;
- No formation of PACs and no acceptance of money or other support from PACs;
- Disclosure of potential conflicts of interests by transparently posting their work and volunteer affiliations online; and
- A directly expressed commitment that their future public service will not be dictated by special interests.
