Is it possible that the Lord has been nudging you to be a candidate for elected office?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It night be for the House or Senate. Trump and his team are going to be looking at every one of the candidates. If they think your philosophy, drive, and personality make you look like a winner \u2013 you will have surprising support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn\u2019t have to be top of the ticket races. The down ticket state, county, and city races are, in many ways, more important. Again, I suspect \u201c(R)\u201d behind your name will be a surprising asset in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there is even a possibility \u2013 time is shorter than you think. Some primary races are scheduled in about a year from now. I suggest you go to the County Registrar\u2019s office in person. Talk with a knowledgeable staff member. (It never hurts to have a friend there that you can call.) Build a timeline of campaign filing dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next \u2013 You will need a close friend to be your campaign treasurer. This person will have to stay current on filing dates and cash flow. I emphasize \u201cclose friend\u201d, one who is as dedicated as you are. (Else you might be sharing a jail cell!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open a \u201cfictitious name account\u201d for your campaign. You will need about $50 to the county and another $50 to open a Campaign bank account. (You must have a county fictitious name to open a Campaign bank account.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I recommend holding off on hiring a Campaign Manager. Get started on your own. Learn a little first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That done, your friends will know you are serious. Invite them over. I suggest \u2013 don\u2019t ask for money. That comes later. You\u2019re looking for advisers. They come in \u201cflavors\u201d \u2013 political experience; fund raising; philosophy; public relations; \u201cgirl-Friday\u201d grunt work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
