“I like the noise of democracy.” – James Buchanan

In America, the Democratic party has had tremendous success in recent years when it comes to campaigning to win elections at the Governors’ level. In this post, we will examine five strategies for Democrats seeking the Governor office in a U.S. State. If you are looking to win your first election as a Democratic governor, then you should definitely read this article and learn from these examples.

1. Knock on doors

A vital strategy for Democratic governors is to knock on doors and talk to voters face-to-face. Canvassing allows politicians to get to know their constituents and understand their concerns towards building a connection with the voters, which can be very important in a close election. Knocking on doors can also increase a voters’ confidence in a candidate when it comes to raising campaign funds. PRO TIP: It’s important to have enough money to reach more voters to get your message out. As well, canvassing also assists with building a grassroots campaign. A grassroots campaign is important for politicians as it allows them to connect with voters on a personal level. It’s a good way to garner immediate feedback from voters regarding local concerns.

2. Use social media

Various social media platforms such Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube are a great way to reach out to voters and communicate your message effectively, as well as directly. Democratic governors use these platforms to share photos and videos of themselves meeting with voters and talking about important issues. This helps connect them with voters showing that they are accessible and interested in hearing what the people have to say. Additionally, Democratic governors campaign on their record of service and accomplishments. They talk about the progress they can make in their respective state and how they plan to keep moving forward if elected. This helps voters see that the Democratic governor is someone who gets things done and is looking out for the best interests of the people.

3. Spread your message through ads

A third strategy includes targeting specific groups of voters with advertising. Political ads can be a very effective way to reach out to voters and convince them to support the campaign. Democratic governors use targeted advertising to reach specific groups of voters who are likely to support them. Democratic governors also often have a strong grassroots campaign that helps them connect with voters on a personal level, built on the fabric of this targeted advertising campaign.

4. Hold events

Events are a great way to engage with voters and show them what you stand for. Democratic governors often hold town hall meetings, rallies and fundraisers to connect with voters and raise money for their campaigns. These events give you a chance to show voters what you stand for and what you would do if elected. Make sure to have a good turnout at your events and be sure to spread the word to as many people as possible. Democratic governors also reach out to key constituencies like labor unions and minority groups. They make sure they have a strong support base early on in the campaign so they can win come election day.

5. Get endorsements from key figures

Endorsements from influential people can be very helpful in a gubernatorial election. Democratic governors often seek endorsements from party leaders, celebrities and other high-profile figures. Democratic governors running for their first term in office typically seek endorsements from Democratic Party leaders and high-profile celebrities to booster their visibility and chances of winning. Obtaining the endorsement of a popular figure can help attract media attention and votes.

AB 256, the Racial Justice Act for All, passed its final hurdle in the Legislature and will be sent to Governor Newsom. AB 256 is a follow-up measure to the original Racial Justice Act, AB 2542 (Kalra, Chapter 317, Statutes of 2020), which prohibits the state from seeking or obtaining a criminal conviction, or from imposing a sentence, based upon race, ethnicity, or national origin. In a phased-in approach, AB 256 would allow persons with convictions or judgments prior to January 1, 2021 to petition the court and seek relief if a racial bias violation was proven to be present in their case.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. –

Harvard University is hosting an Affordable Housing seminar titled, ‘Affordable Housing:  Principles for Changing Domestic and Global Markets’. The two-day seminar takes place at the Graduate School of Design. Individuals in the fields of development, lending, investment and policymaking, will learn the skills to navigate the affordable housing industry.

One of the attendees will be Mr. Suleiman Alli. Sule, as close associates call him, works in conjunction with a design and construction company, FABHAUS USA INC. Sule’s role is in the Marketing, Sales and Business Development department, for the African market.

The course is led by instructors in the Affordable Housing industry: David Smith, Davina Wood and Sanjana Sidhra. Sule, a Nigerian, with American permanent residency, believes that the information and collaborations obtained via this course will assist him in supporting FABHAUS. FABHAUS’ mission is to design and construct pre-fabricated homes, globally.

For nearly a decade, Sule has been investing time and money into journeying throughout Nigeria in attempts to persuade decision makers, in the African nation, to utilize natural resources to build homes for the growing population. His association with a Nigerian organization, FEDUP, led him to find that much of the problem surrounding housing affordability in the country, was political.

Sule’s vision aligns with the mission of the Harvard University course, in that the course is built for entrepreneurs. Affordable Housing is not only a Warri problem, a Lagos problem or a third world problem; Affordable Housing is a global problem and if it were a disease, it could possibly be likened to a pandemic.

Affordable Housing is a burgeoning industry that will continue to grow. This industry is interdisciplinary, encompassing political science, sociology, economics, government, architecture, engineering, etc.

BlackUSA.News will follow up on this seminar and its’ benefits, upon its completion.
