Candidate Fundraising

Running for office requires money. There's no way around it. Whether you're running for city council or Congress, you need resources to communicate with voters, build your team, and compete effectively. So, you should know the proven methods for raising those resources and diversify your fundraising approach.

Campaign fundraising is on everyones mind. A candidate calls a frequent donor and asks for help. The donor asks the candidate, “What is your cash on hand?” The candidate answers, “I have raised a total of $350,000 dollars.” “Great,” the donor responds, “but what is your cash on hand?” “$35,000” says the candidate. “Umm. Let me get back to you,” the donor replies and hangs up. Ouch.
