Vulnerability Studies & Opposition Research

Why is research a crucial tool for running a successful campaign?

​

A candidate needs as much information as possible in order to prepare for a variety of issues which may come up during the election cycle. A successful candidate has compiled information about:

 

  • The district and its voters

  • The candidate's strengths and weaknesses

  • The opponent's strengths and weaknesses
