Wisconsin’s February 15 Primary Approaching Rapidly

January 6, 2011

The Wisconsin political scene continues to be very busy.   The new Governor and Legislature were sworn in on Monday.   Discussions about redistricting are beginning to circulate.  Also, the Spring Elections filing deadline passed on Tuesday.  Campaign Season is here again.

Some races in Wisconsin will not have a primary, but for those races that have a primary, there is not much time remaining. The field will be narrowed down to the candidates who make the general ballot in just over five weeks.  Since these are nonpartisan elections, the candidates do not have a party label next to their names on the ballots.  There is no guarantee that a conservative will make it to the general election just because of their party affiliation. So it is critical that conservative candidates campaign well in the next few weeks.

Conservatives need to not only make the general ballot, but they need to perform well in the primary.  Perceptions influence voters greatly in elections.  Accordingly, if you barely make the general ballot, the voters are less likely to vote for you in the general election because you will not be viewed as a frontrunner.  Voters want to vote for those who they perceive have the best chance to win.  They want to be a part of the winning team.  Conservatives need to emerge from the primaries as the frontrunners.

To learn how to be a frontrunner, you should attend an American Majority training.  American Majority Wisconsin will be in the LaCrosse area on Saturday and is planning additional Micro-Candidate trainings in other parts of Wisconsin. Come learn how to put yourself in a position to be able to win your election.
