Drawing from my extensive experience in political rallies, LGBTQ advocacy, and current work on the North Nordstrom campaign in Memphis, I'm here to share strategies that will boost support for your campaign and maximize your fundraising efforts.

• Collaborate with Local Organizations: Partner with community groups to expand your reach and credibility.
• Encourage Volunteer Participation: Use your Digital Business Card to make it easy for supporters to sign up for volunteer opportunities.

• Adapting to Current Events: Be prepared to pivot your messaging in response to breaking news or shifting voter priorities.
• Conducting Frequent Team Check-ins: Hold regular meetings to assess progress and make necessary adjustments.
