Running for Public Office
by Sarah De Capua
Review by Emily
Running for Public Office by Sarah De Capua talks about what a public office is and how candidates campaign for these important roles. In short, a public office is a position that can be held by a candidate who is elected for the position they ran for. A successful campaign needs resources such as money, volunteers, and a convincing candidate who seems fit for the job and can receive votes. Candidates get votes by connecting to the voters and the rest of the public. Candidates connect to the public in many different ways, such as press conferences, door-to-door, school visits, rallies, speeches and advertisements.
We also learn that the most difficult office to run for is the U.S. President. The U.S. Presidential Election happens every four years on a Tuesday between the 2nd and 8th of November, but campaigns for President start two years before Election Day! The candidates find out if they won after the ballots are counted and the results are announced, which is usually on the night of or morning after Election Day. After the results are announced, both the winners and the losers make speeches. The losers give a concession speech, in which they thank those who helped with the campaign and wish the winner luck, and the winners discuss what he or she plans to do while they are in office.
