Friends,
As we look towards 2023, Republican candidates are already gearing up to run for local office across the Commonwealth. This will be a critical year for Republicans in Virginia to hold or take back as many School Board, Supervisor, Sheriff, Commonwealth's Attorney, and many more seats that will be on the ballot in November.
With all this work ahead of us, we are excited to announce the return of the Republican Party of Virginia's Candidate Training Schools! If you've ever thought about running for local office, join us at one of the 8 training sessions we'll be hosting in late January & early February.
This educational service aims to prepare potential candidates for the exciting challenge of running for office. Our goal is to equip our candidates with the necessary tools to see success in their campaigns. Launched in 2022, we saw success up and down the ballot with those who attended our Candidate Training Schools.
The curriculum for the Candidate Training School provided will cover messaging, data, volunteer recruitment and retention, strategic planning, fundraising, social media, and several other topics. We're focusing heavily on the basics of running a successful campaign at any level, but particularly local offices.
