Political Onboarding Questionnaire

Please fill out this questionnaire to the best of your ability. Thanks!

Please list all of your past political, organizing and professional experience in as much detail as possible. How many terms did you serve, what did you accomplish during each role that you want to highlight, etc. *

Tell us about any relevant family that you would like to be part of your story? This can include, but is not limited to, your kids (age and name - if you want to talk about them), partners, parents, pets, famous aunts... anyone you think we should know about and why! *

Are you a groundbreaking candidate? (Will you be the first ___?) Share as many ways how as relevant. *

In your opinion, what has been the most successful posts/content/campaigns you have used to date via social media? Why do you think it/they did so well? *

Which candidates/elected officials do you look to for inspiration (specifically related to their online program)? Please be as specific as possible about who and why. *

Are there any non-political companies, organizations or people you love (specifically related to their online program)? Please be as specific as possible about who and why. *

Which national publications do you look to for news (this can include newspapers, blogs, tv programs, radio...). Please include links for anything obscure. *

Which local or statewide publications do you look to for news (this can include newspapers, blogs, tv programs, radio...). Please include links for anything obscure. *

Are there any publications we should avoid using (we'll of course never use garbage like Breitbart or InfoWars, but are there any less obvious publications or sources you'd prefer we avoid)? *

Who/what are the protagonists in your story? Other than you, who are the champions in your race? This could be people (Stacey Abrams/Senator Baldwin), issues (Green New Deal, Fight for $15), unions, organizations, popular activists or elected officials. The more specific you can be, the better. *

Who are you running against? (Please include links to their websites and/or social channels.) *

Other than your opponents, who/what are the antagonists in your story? This could include elected officials, specific companies or organizations, issues like right to work laws, etc. *

What are the local issues that are important to your district/community. Please spell out your stances on these issues. *

How would you describe your voice? (Passionate, inspirational, dry, witty, straightforward...) *

Is there any slang you like to use (y'all, you'se guys...). Any slang you hate and want to avoid? Any phrases you like? (The better we understand your voice, the easier it is for us to write in your voice.) *

Do you curse? Often? Never? Occasionally to make a point? If you do swear, any ones you use in particular? *

If you could have any celebrity as your spokesperson (living or deceased, modern or historical, real or fictional), who would it be and why? (You can pick more than one.) *

Do you have any writing online that would help us better understand your voice? This could be an old Twitter account you no longer use, a blog, an article you wrote for your college paper... anything that will help us learn how you write. Please share links or detailed instructions to help us track this content down. List as many things as apply. *

The more we Understand you and your campaign, the better we can help tell your story
