What is the Campus Election Workshop?

Student governments control funding for student groups, decide which speakers come to campus, and influence administration policies. Too often, student governments are downright hostile to conservatives.

The Campus Election Workshop teaches you how to run for – and win – student government elections.

The workshop teaches you time-tested and innovative campaign techniques to win your campus elections. Students learn how to recruit candidates, build an organization, develop campaign strategies, target voters, and more.

This school is held on college campuses across the country and at the Leadership Institute in Arlington, Virginia.

“The Leadership Institute's intensive Campus Election Workshop gave me the tools, the know-how, and the confidence to run for, and get elected to, the Student Senate on campus. The professional advice I was given enabled me to identify what I needed to do, and more importantly, how to do it successfully.”
-- Dan Hofherr, University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh

“The campus election workshop explains, in a very practical way, how conservatives can make a difference in their student government.”
