Those looking at how to win a local election have an opportunity Tuesday night as the Clark County Auditor’s Office is sponsoring a campaign workshop at the elections office.
From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Clark County Elections Office (1408 Franklin Street, Vancouver), the auditor’s office will present “Winning Ways to Run for Office – A Candidate / Campaign Worker Workshop.”
Representing officeholders, Vancouver City Councilor Laurie Lebowsky and Washougal City Councilor Paul Greenlee will speak about making the decision to run and campaigning for an office.
Representing campaign experts, Katie Archer of Archer Public Affairs and Jim Mains of High Five Media will describe what it takes to carry out an effective campaign for a candidate or issue in Clark County.
Speakers will also touch on political sign regulations, campaign finance, interacting with the news media, fair campaign practices and resources available at the elections office, according to the release. It notes the workshop will benefit current candidates for public office, people considering becoming candidates, those who are working on a campaign for an issue or candidate, or who think they might in the future, as well as anyone who is interested in the topics.
Time will be available for questions and answers during the program as well as during the informal reception following the workshop.
The release noted that the workshop was not for the purpose of directly or indirectly assisting a campaign for the election of any person to any office or for the promotion or opposition to any ballot proposition. The panelists’ comments represent their own opinions; they do not represent the view of the Clark County Auditor’s Office.
