Build your public presence
Why every local candidate needs a website, what goes on it, how to make it your public information hub, and the paid-for-by disclaimer basics.
- Why every local candidate needs a campaign websiteVoters will look you up before they vote for you. A simple website makes sure they find you, in your own words, instead of guessing.
- What to put on your campaign websiteA good local campaign site answers a voter's questions in under a minute. Here is what belongs on each page, and what to leave off.
- Your public information hub: one trusted place for everythingWhen your bio, photo, events and voting details live in one place, everything else you publish can point back to it. That saves time and stops mistakes from spreading.
- "Paid for by" disclaimers: the basics for local candidatesThat small line at the bottom of a sign or mailer tells voters who is behind it. Getting it right is easy once you know where your rules come from.
