The Campaign of a Candidate 101 Working for our Community, who can bring it, Madison Nguyen is the slogan and chant that continues to ring in my ear, even when I go home after a difficult day of trying to support a local candidate.

Ever since, I begun working on the campaign for Madison Nguyen, who is running for State AssemblyWomen in the city of San Jose. However, this job is definitely one of the few jobs that I definitely underestimated.

There is no right or wrong answer, as long as an individual can support their stance, but what should I know? I know nothing about local
