This has been a thought in the back of my head about running too, the social aspect and those 'influential' people I'll get to meet locally... That can possibly help later once elected as well as after my stint in office.

Take two people with you whenever you go. They should take notes about the person, their address and anything particular, ie., sick cat, kid just won the swim meet, the vintage car in their driveway. Later have someone from your office type up a personal letter discussing these and hand sign it with a request for their vote.

Good tip - thanks!

And once you win, you are in the driver seat from there on out. Its hard to lose as an incumbent.

This is what I'm thinking, right now, there have been 4 Conservative candidates that ran for the last election and 1 Labour, this round its looking like it will be 3 Labour and 1 Conservative - no Independants, which is what I'll be running as.
Historically, in the past 15 years there has been a single Independant candidate that ra, the only reason they're not in office presently is that they passed away and no other Indie candidates ran lol
