GRU Electoral & Legislative Campaigns
"After Election-Day, The Work is Half Done." - Tom Bacote
In politics there are two forms of campaigns, Electoral & Legislative. Too often voters become disillusioned with the political process because they think or assume the newly elected or re-elected public official they voted for is just going to do the right things while in office, until they don't.
The trainings, online tools and work models, the GRU team has developed over the years, are proven effective in helping to get candidates elected into office.
After Election cycles, the vehicle your campaign for change has become (win or lose) should then down-shift into Legislative Mode. Your same campaign team will then be trained to coordinate and execute the passing of good or the fighting of bad policy or law in a coordinated way, until the next election. 'Rinse & Repeat...'
