FAQs
Start earlier than you think. Many successful campaigns begin building their online presence 6 to 12 months before Election Day. Use that time to show up consistently, grow your audience, and learn which messages voters respond to
Begin with your overall campaign budget, then work backward from your target voters and timeline. Look at how many people you need to reach, how often you need to reach them, and what it will cost in your specific district. From there, you can decide how much goes to digital and how much stays with mail, yard signs, and events.
The right platforms depend on who you need to reach. Older voters may respond better to Facebook. Younger and more urban voters may be more active on Instagram, YouTube, or other video platforms. The key is to match your platforms to your district, not just chase trends.
Use the same photo, logo, and color style everywhere. Keep your bio clear and simple. Make sure your website, social profiles, and graphics all tell the same story about who you are and why you are running. A consistent look makes you easier to remember and easier to trust.
You will need proper disclaimers, and some platforms require political verification before you can run ads. Your digital activity should line up with your campaign finance reporting, so coordinate with your treasurer or legal adviser. Staying organized from the start will save you headaches later.
Watch simple, clear numbers. Are more people visiting your website, signing up, donating, or engaging with your content over time? Are you seeing growth from the areas you care about most in your district? Regularly checking these results helps you decide what to do more of and what to change
