I recently led an informative training for the Mises Caucus on how libertarians can win local elections. As someone who has worked with many candidates over the years, I shared my best tips and strategies. Here are some key highlights from the training that any liberty-minded candidate should know.
Simplify your messaging: Boil your platform down to the 1 or 2 issues voters care most about. Use emotional stories and language that tap into their frustrations. This focused approach will better connect with voters.
Don't underestimate negative campaigning: Incumbents rely heavily on their positive name recognition. Strategically highlighting their hypocrisies and flaws gives voters concrete reasons to make a change. Just don't get dirty!
Invest in personalized voter outreach: Stop wasting money on yard signs! Door knocking and fundraising calls, though uncomfortable, are worth it. Attend local events and use texting tools. Build authentic relationships.
Master sales skills: Run your campaign like a business. Understand your target voters, brand yourself emotionally, generate enthusiasm. The better you communicate, the more successful you’ll be.
I covered many more impactful tactics in this training - using data, event sponsorships, public speaking tips, and more. My goal was to arm libertarian candidates with the marketing, messaging, and outreach techniques needed to break through.
If you’re seeking office as a libertarian, studying these strategies is a must. We face an uphill battle, so we need to run smart. This training provides the blueprint for local election success.
Be sure to check out the full episode for all the details! I share this content to empower liberty candidates with the tools to win. Together we can get more freedom fighters elected across the nation. Onward to victory!
