Getting Ready to Run Training
Have you ever thought about running for local office? Get all the answers you need to make the decision here. This two-hour training will give you the basics on campaign expectations, landscape, and rules. You will do a self-evaluation, learn basic campaign skills, and first steps if / when you decide to run.
To request in-person or virtual GRTR training contact Becky.
Advanced Local Campaign Training
This day-long training will teach you all the fundamentals of a winning campaign. It is designed for local candidates and their teams, as well as anyone who’d like to help candidates win. It is also a great opportunity to build the foundation of a campaign for legislative office.

Request Training
We love going on the road, but due to the costs this incurs, we are unable to add additional training locations unless we can count on at least 10 attendees. If you have a need for an additional Getting Ready to Run training or an Advanced Local Campaign Training, please email us with the subject marked as “Training Request” so that our staff may assist you in setting up the desired training.
