Campaign Management School in North Carolina a Huge Success
This past weekend, NFRW and the NCFRW held a campaign management school in Raleigh, North Carolina that attracted 70 attendees. The participants, many of whom are running or plan to run for office in North Carolina this year and next learned about the importance of writing a campaign plan, earned media, paid media, targeting votes, tactics for opposition and vulnerability research, election day strategy, and much more from Holly Robichaud, a political consultant at Tuesday Associates and columnist for the Boston Herald who has worked with a countless number of campaigns.
The attendees also learned about North Carolina election law from a representative of the North Carolina Board of Elections. North Carolina recently changed some election rules but some of those changes have not gone into effect yet, so it was an important message for those attendees running for office to hear.
NFRW owes many thanks to NCFRW president Dena Barnes, who helped tremendously in setting up the campaign management school and getting the word out, and Zann Bunn, president-elect of NCFRW for helping set up the school and helping us throughout the day.
