Checklist for the campaign plan

You need to have the following items in order to develop a campaign plan:

• An estimate of the votes needed to win, in other words the “Winning Number.” For that an in-depth analysis of the last two elections is needed (look at the downloads)
• A campaign fundraising goal
• A detailed review of the incumbent’s finance reports, or those who ran for a similar office
• A map of the district
• A list of key influencers in the district
• A list of newspapers and their contacts
• Access to the Voter File
• List of Vendors
