American Majority's “Campaign-In-A-Day” training | American Majority
On October 28th, American Majority will be hosting their "Campaign-In-A-Day" training experience in Virginia, ahead of crucial elections in November. The goal of the event is to train citizens on how to effectively manage and work on political campaigns. With election day fast approaching on November 7th, the balance of power in Virginia's legislature hangs in the balance, with Republicans holding a narrow majority in the House of Delegates and Democrats holding a slim majority in the Virginia Senate. The upcoming elections in Virginia are expected to be closely contested, with every vote potentially determining which party emerges with control over the state's legislature.
The "Campaign-In-A-Day" event, hosted by American Majority, will take place on Saturday, October 28th at Liberty University's Helms School of Government. The event aims to teach attendees good campaign practices, including key "dos and don'ts" of campaigning. Participants will have the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice by working on allocating funds, messaging, and getting out the vote in a mock campaign.
The event is primarily targeted towards students and young conservatives who are interested in campaigns or are looking to engage with fellow students and develop leadership skills. American Majority, the nation's premier conservative training organization, believes that lasting political change starts at the state and local levels, where most government decisions and spending occur.
Previous attendees of American Majority's "Campaign-In-A-Day" events have spoken positively about their experiences, stating that the event provided them with the tools to be better prepared to assist with or even run a political campaign. One attendee expressed their inspiration, saying, "I really enjoyed it and now feel inspired to work on a campaign."
According to a report from WTOP, every seat in Virginia's legislature will be up for election on November 7th. Polls indicate that control of the legislature is a toss-up. Steven Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington, stated that Virginia's elections are a "50-50 contest," with suburban communities playing a crucial role in determining the outcomes.
With the upcoming elections in Virginia being highly anticipated and closely contested, American Majority's "Campaign-In-A-Day" event aims to equip citizens with the skills and knowledge needed to make a meaningful impact on political campaigns.
