Congratulations! You just decided to run for the US Congress to become a member of the House of Representatives. Much like the rest of the country, you know that constituents in your districts generally do not look fondly on Congress or its role in “getting things done.” However, in recent years, there have been some popular Representatives who have managed to gain higher approval ratings. Some recent local polls show that the issues people are most concerned about revolve around employment and job security as well as gerrymandering. As a first-time candidate, how would you approach your election campaign? What could be your strategy for gaining the support of your constituents?
