| Abstract | This workshop summary offers a guide for women who are considering seeking public office. It covers pre-campaign concerns, development of a campaign plan, and keeping the campaign on target. While a campaign plan should be an anchor, it also should be a flexible tool that can be revised, if necessary. The document discusses "targeting," defined as the analysis of past voting behavior in order to decide where the best potential for success lies. Targeting helps a campaign concentrate its resources on precincts where the effort is likely to have the most payoff. It also helps a campaign reach undecided voters and increase voter turnout among supporters. Various forms of voter contact are discussed, including direct-mail, door-to-door campaigning, group activities, and mass media. The document offers a step-by-step guide to recruiting and managing volunteers. It also gives a brief statistical overview of women in office, pointing out that women still hold only a small minority of available posts. The report encourages women candidates to invest good planning, good management, and hard work in their campaigns. The document also includes a list of 9 publications available from other groups and 11 Alaska organizations involved with women's issues or which encourage political participation. (TES) |
