Hey John,
At any given moment on a campaign, candidates, staff, and even super volunteers are expected to make pivotal decisions in real-time.
When you make one choice, another will take its place. Like the hydra from Hercules, but instead of lizard heads multiplying, it's decisions.
Some of these choices are not to be made lightly either -- some will be pivotal to your success.
If you're running the show, deciding how to best manage the candidate's time, answering endorsement questionnaires on a short deadline, finalizing communications, and deciding on expenditures can all pile up on your plate quickly.
This Herculean effort gets easier with experience and time, but for many Run for Something candidates, this is their
first campaign cycle.
But don't worry, Emmy Ruiz, Partner at NEWCO Strategies and campaign management expert, is here to help you prioritize and teach you how to weigh your options! Emmy was a state director for Obama's re-election campaign in 2012 and a senior advisor to Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.
Whether you're a campaign veteran or a first-time organizer, Run for Something is here to provide you with expert advice on campaign management -- completely for free. RSVP now to join this week's Armchair chat at 6 p.m. ET with Emmy Ruiz!
I hope we see you online!
