I would like advice in running for Congress against Dan Newhouse.             MAGA

I've already started the petition portion for the filing and it's looking pretty easy to get the 1000+ signatures as people are hearing that I'm serious about going after this guy and have volunteered to help me get those signatures I need to file.

I have zero clue on what I am doing though. I've never ran a campaign or been a part of one in fact. All I know is Dan Newhouse is a traitor and he needs to go.

So, I'm looking for advice, guidance, and recommendations on how to begin my campaign to unseat him.

I'm just an average middle class american tired of career politicians selling out America for their own personal greed. In fact, that is one of the things I would really like to see happen is to get term limits in for Congress.

I'm an Army Veteran (honorable discharge) and I took my oath and still do to support and defend the Constitution and seeing these Democrats purposefully whittle and erode it to serve their purposes has me spitting mad.

The 2nd Amendment states "shall not be infringed" and yet the Democrats dismiss those words as if they are not even there. It's like the battle of Athens never happened. The 2nd Amendment is the only thing keeping our Government from enacting tyrannical rule over our lives.

I firmly believe in America First policies and I do not believe our country has any reason to be conducting business with countries that are in the act of committing genocide. There is other countries that build our cheap useless crap that are not communist and actually are not committing human rights violations.

I also believe that the office of the President has too much power and that Executive Orders need to be brought in check. Congress is the Legislative branch and for too long they have deferred their responsibilities to the Executive Branch because they are too cowardly to take up any action that may threaten their chances of getting another term.

I also believe that Tech censorship is a threat to American liberties and that by conducting such censorship these companies claimed to be platforms have indeed become publishers and should then be held and seen as such.

There needs to be antitrust actions brought upon Google and the company needs to be broken apart.

My name is (removed at admin request) and I am running for congress. I would like your help, advice, and guidance to help me unseat Dan Newhouse and kick him to the curb where he belongs.

edit: I would like to say thank you for the outpouring of support, advice, and recommendations. All of it I will use in the days coming ahead. The fight will be rough. I am currently outgunned and outmanned. Financially, I know my opponent has resources that are absolutely enormous compared to mine. He is an entrenched elite career politician who has powerful friends in high places. I just can't bitch anymore. Complaining is useless. It takes good people to stand up and fight for what they believe in if there is to be any sort of positive change for the better. Dan Newhouse is part of the problem. A career politician who makes his money selling favors to corporate behemoths. As a soldier I was trained to adapt and overcome any problem that stood in my way and Dan Newhouse is a problem. He needs to go. Thank you again for your encouragement, support, and advice. I will need it all in the days coming ahead.

Just my take...

  1. Make a list(s) on paper. Lists help you define everything and organize them by importance. (You might end up with many lists.) At this stage, you need to define your issues by importance. You have to be ready to answer a lot of questions and have the facts memorized.

Simply running against an incumbent is probably not enough to defeat one. They are really hard to get rid of! Aside from the money issues, there will be issues with patronage & donors that are receiving favors from this politician. You will have to show the wider public that this person has not been good for them, they should not vote for him again, and how you will correct the problems of keeping that person in office.

You will need to practice a stump speech or two. Public speaking is an art that takes practice.

  1. After reading your message above, please find someone that is an editor, or the like, to read through your messages. I am not either of these, but found two errors. Legislative/legal language must be precise, and so must a candidate's statements or the opposition will take them out of context. No spelling or grammar issues and your facts must be accurate.

Get out and meet everyone you can. People vote for who they know.
