So You Lost Your Election- Now What?
On Tuesday, Kansas held its primary elections, as did a few other states, and while the results are overwhelmingly positive, let’s face it: elections are about choices and sometimes the voters don’t choose you.

Read MoreHow to “Go Negative” Without Getting Nasty
Primary season. Ah, it’s fun times. I always look forward to election season, the palm cards, yard signs, door-to-door, fundraiser and sign wave craziness… but sometimes, I’m just ready for the negativity to end. Am I alone in feeling this way? At our training sessions, candidates often ask how they can show contrast between themselves…

I like to think that I’m a pretty dynamic individual, but I’ll be honest, there comes a point in every single training I conduct where I bore my attendees. They start looking around the room, staring at the ceiling, mouths dropping open, drool pooling at the corners of their lips. Ok, maybe it’s not that…

I encountered a man that was attending a training of ours in Russell, KS last evening. After the training was over he came up to us and began chatting and sharing stories, and one story in particular really inspired me. He talked about his experience last year when he attended the March on D.C. He…

I was recently told an inspiring story by another Field Representative in the Kansas office, Mary Brown, which grabbed my attention and gave me hope. Mary’s neighbor boy recently returned home from college for a weekend visit. On arriving he noticed the Brown’s political campaign signs in their front yard. The neighbor boy told his…
Read MoreA need for servant leadership
Why is it that the liberty movement been so appealing to so many? One reason is that people are finding it more and more difficult to hold their elected officials accountable. But why has this become so difficult to do? In my opinion, it is because many elected officials no longer make it a priority…

I’m blonde (mostly naturally). Five-foot-three. At last check, I was getting close to tipping the scale over 100 pounds. I haven’t checked for a while. My idea of a day off involves a good book, a long spa appointment, and as much dark chocolate and white wine as I can get my hands on. You…

Two hundred and thirty-four years ago, 56 men stood around a table and signed their names to a document we’ll be celebrating this weekend- the Declaration of Independence.

Read MoreAppealing to the younger generation
The success of a political party, organization, or candidate is greatly influenced by how they appeal to a young audience.

Though you’ll never hear me say this in any other context…

Election season is in full swing even for those last-minute candidates who waited for the filing deadlines before announcing. I’ve talked to several candidates this week who are jumping into the door-to-door campaign feet first, full of vigor and excited to get out and start walking. The bad part?

OH MOM AND DAD
I’m sure all of you who are parents have heard it before; “Oh Dad” or “Oh Mom, not now” with the inevitable eye roll. This might apply to a parent asking their child to clean their room, to come in when it gets dark outside, or even to stop making that annoying tapping noise. The…

I was twelve years old when I had my first experience with door-to-door campaigning for a candidate. My dad dropped me off at the the first house on the block and wished me luck as I grabbed my candidate’s literature and voter registration forms and hopped out of the car. As I walked up the…
