For people who aren’t in politics - it seems like an awful business. Raising money, cashing in favors, countless meetings and handshakes. So why do people want to do it? And what does it take to actually be successful?
Today, we’ll talk about how difficult it is for new people to break into the political system...and what makes them wanna do it in the first place? Does the political system keep out fresh ideas and voices?
We want to hear from you - if you’ve been part of a successful (or unsuccessful) political campaign, give us a call. What did you learn along the way? What do you wish you’d known before you got started? What are the barriers for new candidates getting into politics?
