Learn how to run a political campaign! Sign up for Campaigning 101

If you’re interested in running for public office or if you’re thinking about working on a political campaign, the Sussex County Democratic Committee (SCDC) invites you to a information and training workshop entitled: “Campaigning 101: What You Need To Know.” The workshop will be held at the Hampton Diner, 36 Hampton House Road (Ro…ute 206), Newton, on Saturday, February 25, 2012 from 9:30 to 11:30AM.

As in the past at this annual event, veteran campaigners will teach the basics of organizing a campaign for public offices such as seats on local governmental bodies like boards of education and municipal committees and councils .  You will learn how to file the necessary petitions, deal with campaign financing and reporting, and identify your potential support.  Also, you’ll pick up tips on how to reach out to voters, and learn the basics of conducting “get out the vote” operations.

Presenters will include Richard Ecke, a principal in the public relations firm of Berry Ecke Associates; Carolyn Magee, former SCDC Vice-Chair; Diane Wexler, SCDC Treasurer and former candidate for Vernon Township Council; and Ed Selby, SCDC Executive Director and seasoned political campaigner. This panel reflects several decades of hands-on campaign experience at all levels.

Coffee and Danish will be served.

If you’re interested , call Ed Selby at 973-948-9201 or email him at ecselby@earthlink.net.
