Local political campaigns need to reach fewer voters and typically campaign for a shorter period than larger campaigns. But that does not make local campaigning any easier for the candidates or their supporters. In some ways, small campaigns have it even tougher.

Here are a few major challenges local candidates face when starting a run for office: 

  •  Putting together a campaign team
  •  Developing a message and theme that resonates with voters
  •  Raising campaign funds and donations
  •  Getting enough media exposure
