Round One: American Majority Yard Sign Tournament

BRACKET medium
March 14, 2018

It’s that time of year again, where Americans are filling out their brackets, teams write their Cinderella stories, and all but one team has their dream of winning a National Championship shattered. Whether your team goes all the way or your bracket is busted in the first round you can still have an impact in the American Majority Yard Sign Tournament!

Since the summer of 2016 the American Majority Campaign-In-A-Day event has trained hundreds of attendees on what it’s like to run a campaign. The training is interactive and has students compete against each other in simulated campaign. Attendees fundraise, message, and get out the vote amongst other tasks. One of most fun parts of Campaign in a Day is when teams create yard signs for their team’s mock candidate. To celebrate March Madness and Campaign-In-A-Day we have assembled the best yard signs from these events and ranked them. Now it is up to YOU to vote for your favorites in each matchup to get yard signs to advance until there is one yard sign crowned as the champion of the American Majority Yard Sign Tournament!

Note – these are all fictitious candidates created for Campaign in a Day
