Local Political Party Chapter

Why it works:
Local party organizations can be a ready-made network of potential supporters who already care about electing candidates like you.

Tactics:

• Attend meetings, introduce yourself, and share your story.
• Ask if they have small grants, fundraising support, or donor lists you can access.
• Offer to help with party activities — relationships here can pay off in both fundraising and volunteer recruitment.

Pro tip: Be respectful of their time and rules. Some chapters have strict policies about how and when they support candidates.
