Politicians are getting a bad rap due to the divisions in our country. I think we need to redefine what a politician is, such as "public servant," with the emphasis on "servant." The first qualification is, is this your calling. Second, is there someone that aligns with your values, that you genuinely admire. We need good people to be politicians at every level. Thanks, Jay, for educating us!

Thanks for this video Mr. Townsend! I wanted to ask if there's any advice you might have for someone like me. I'm going to be a college graduate this year and probably head to law school, and spend time building up funds and paying back loans before campaigning, but my hometown leans the opposite way from me. Is it worth it to try to flip a district that is 5 points or so in one direction given that I have a ton of connections, or is it better to move to a district that better reflects my own beliefs?

@jaytownsend22 22 күн бұрын

You can overcome a 5 point deficit, especially if you are running in a city where you have deep roots. If you move somewhere, you’ll have to spend a lot of time developing a new network of friends and influencers. Jay

Hello Mr. Townsend, in reference to point 1 "Educate yourself", I would love to see a video on how to educate yourself (books you recommend, online courses to take, lectures to watch, etc...).

@armstrongsimms6565 3 ай бұрын

I'm referring more to just the basics of government, how it works, etc... The very basics you need to know before even considering running for office. Before campaign strategy.

Volunteer for candidates you like, get involved with the political party of your choice, volunteer for activities that allow you to rub shoulders with influential people in your community.

You will be a better candidate if you’ve made some money before you run. And more likely to be your authentic self if you have something to fall back on if you come up short.
