Are you considering a run for county office as a Republican, but you’re not quite sure how to get your campaign started? Have no fear! The 14th Congressional District Republican Party, in conjunction with the Dekalb County Republican Party, will be hosting a candidate training session on Saturday, May 26th. This is a good opportunity to give folks who may be new to politics and campaigns to understand how to run an effective campaign*. I’d recommend that folks consider coming out to the training even if they do not plan on running for elected office right now. It’s good information to have even if you’re contemplating a run a few years from now.
The deets about the training are below the fold.
