Book Description

A must-read for political candidates and anyone considering running for public office, Power of the Campaign Pyramid, by Ron Wallace and Wesley McCall, offers a proven step-by-step process for winning elections at the local and statewide level. For first-time candidates and veteran politicians alike, election season poses a bewildering gauntlet of challenges: organizing a campaign team, fundraising, filing deadlines, finance laws, voter outreach, speechwriting, interaction with the news media, and fending off opponents' attacks. It's no wonder so many candidates spend buckets of money and personal energy, and yet still fail to galvanize the electorate in their favor. There is a better way. In this one-of-a-kind new release, campaign consultants Wallace and McCall distill years of hard-won experience into a clear, concise, common-sense prescription for running an efficient, effective campaign and winning elections. With real-world examples, they explain how to identify and connect with the most important segment of voters, how to optimize the use of social media, and how to build and lead a winning campaign team. Throughout the book, the authors advocate for running a campaign based on honesty, fairness, facts, and integrity, a timely and welcome rejoinder to politics as usual.
