Candidate Development Seminar - Wed 1/23

Soldiers', Sailors', Marines' and Airmen's Club - Northwest Lounge 2nd floor
 
Have you ever thought about running for local office, because you’re frustrated with the way things are up in Albany or down at City Hall? Have you thought about making a change for the better in New York City? If not you, do you know someone who would make a good candidate or has expressed interest in bringing change to local government? The New York Young Republican Club wants to help and now is a great time to build the future of our party in New York.
 
We will be hosting a candidate development seminar on January 23 at Soldiers’, Sailors’, Marines’ and Airmen’s Club – 283 Lexington Avenue . We are looking for prospective republican candidates throughout the five boroughs for the offices of State Senate, State Assembly and the 2009 City Council races.

142 seats is the combined total of State Senate, State Assembly and City Council seats within the borders of New York City . Of those 142 seats, Republicans hold 8. No, that’s not a typo. We only hold EIGHT out of 142 district seats: four State Senate seats, one Assembly seat and three City Council seats. When it comes time for the legislative body to cast a vote, our ideals and positions are not being represented. We need to change that.

Our seminar will help you understand the demographics of your district seat. We will outline a game plan for raising money, communicating with your constituency, and defining your positions on issues that are important for the office you’re running for. It is important to have a secure foundation to your candidacy. It is also important to distinguish your platform from your opponent.

The NYYRC does not guarantee you will win a race if you choose to run for office. Raising money, campaigning and spreading your message is all hard work. Sometimes it can take two or three election cycles to make a dent in politics. What we can assure you is that by attending our development seminar, you will be better prepared handling the ins and outs on campaigning for local office.

If you are interested in running for office in 2008, 2009 or 2010 (it’s always better to start early!), or you know someone who has expressed interest in running for office, please let us know RSVP to NYYRC and let us know you wish to attend on January 23rd for our Candidate Development Seminar at Soldiers’, Sailors’, Marines’ and Airmen’s Club
