Considering running for something in 2024. But I am not wealthy, and if I become a target, I'm sort of finished.
Corruption runs deep. And it goes high... way above my head. I don't know why my town is so special, but it is a bastion for the globalists, apparently. Honestly, you may be as surprised as I was to learn just how far down the globalist agenda has reached.
Anyway, any thoughts about strategies to stay safe, to acheive goals, etc? Anyone do this and want to share?
Thanks
Edit: prayer and asking God to guide my discernment is first and foremost. He gave me the idea to ask all of you.
Call your state Republican party (only because they're the only game in town besides Dems) and find out what candidate classes they have. You can also contact the Virginia Project and take some of their zoom candidate classes or ask if there are similar groups in your state.
Most important of all, find one or two pressing issues that the voters in your town care passionately about - job opportunities and drawing new businesses, sensible planning and development, transportation issues. If you offer a solution to problems that your neighbors really care about, all the entrenched politicos won't be able to stop you. Editing to add - surprised so few people cite this. This is crucial - if you don't have a good platform on issues that will motivate people to get out and vote for you, all the fundraising, door knocking, advertising, volunteers won't get you elected.
Gather support from friends, especially those who are active in the community and leaders in business or other important facets of your town. Then rub your shoe leather down to shreds knocking on doors and attending events where you can talk to and meet voters.
Good luck!
Thank you... I think there's a lot of wisdom in your post.
