If you are thinking of running for office or thinking about thinking running for office, if you want to be a better organizer or work as a campaign manager I highly recommend campaign trainings. Even if you are going to be the candidate it is important that you understand your campaign program.
I have attended a number of campaign trainings since I first started working on the Kerry Campaign in 2004. One of the most important things to know about running for office is fundraising.
DFA Nightschool
I just received an email from Democracy for America about their night school project – they are going to be holding virtual campaign trainings all summer long.
The first one – Developing a Finance Plan – is tonight (Tue. June 12) at 8:30.

@PoliticsPA looks at the PAGOP Endorsement Policies - PAGOP to County Chairs: Non-Endorsed Candidates Need Not Apply

Ironically, those elements in the GOP want to run things more like Pa. Democrats.
Dem state committee endorsements are not binding despite requiring a higher, two-thirds threshold (the PAGOP only requires 50 percent plus 1). Democratic county committees can – and often do – endorse primary opponents of candidates that have been endorsed by the state committee.

And efforts by reformers who want the party to emulate the GOP – by tightening up the bylaws or to committing noteworthy financial resources to back up endorsements – are the subject of intense scrutiny by progressives and activists.

So who’s right? GOP party leaders point to the most important statistic of all: win rate. Since 2001, the GOP has won 54 percent of contested statewide elections.
