- 1). Assemble a campaign packet. Decide on a motto and a logo, and print up buttons, stickers and fliers with your name and the race you're running in. Design a brochure to mail out to all of your constituents explaining whom you are, what you stand for and what you promise to change if you're elected.
- 2). Hand out your campaign materials at grocery stores, on street corners, at train and bus stations and anywhere else you know you are likely to run into like-minded people. Assign volunteers and go door-to-door yourself to talk with your constituents. The more places you can be a presence the better -- people like to put a face to a name before they send money to a politician.
- 3). Contact the leaders of your political party in your town, county or state, depending on what level of political office you're seeking. Party leaders can put you in contact with frequent campaign donors.
- 4). Organize fundraisers. Invite people to attend an event at which you'll speak about your goals and plans for the community you wish to serve. Once people understand who you are, the more likely they are to want to sponsor your campaign.
