You can’t govern if you don’t win the election. This session will discuss what it takes to win a primary election while not disqualifying yourself for the general election. We’ll go behind the scenes and discuss everything from getting one’s name on a ballot, fundraising, hiring a team, building a grass-roots coalition, and dealing with opponent’s accusations.
The campaign matters, the candidate matters, and the issues most important to the voters matter. We’ll dig into all this and more in this off-the-record session.
*These off-the-record conversations are open to members of the Harvard community. Please RSVP with a valid Harvard email address.
