young adults, ages 16-24 spend more than 200 minutes a day on a mobile device. This number is expected to continue to grow due to the increase in people always wanting to know what is going on. Thomson states that it is imperative for candidates to campaign on social media to reach the young demographic because they “make(s) up the same proportion of the U.S. voting-age population as the Baby…
We ran the Facebook campaign with the hopes of reaching more professionals. Unfortunately, although there was a large reach for the campaign, which ran on a budget of $250.00 and had 420 engagements, less than 5 people filled it out, as shown below. Although, it was a challenge to determine which people had filed out the survey due to the Facebook Ad Campaign. Perhaps if we were to do this again, we can ask if the subjects were filling it…
One argument to resolve the ever-increasing need for campaign fund-raising, the influence of contributions, and equity in political outcomes is to reinvigorate the public campaign finance system (Miller, 2014). At the national level, public campaign finance is defunct, yet in municipalities, there are various public campaign finance systems in use.

alleviate corporations expecting favors. However if a canididate decides to run for a seat they should be able to fund or raise the needed money for their campaign, but with set restriction. Indeed it seems as if the richest candidates are always guaranteed to win, unfortunatly even those without money should be given a fair chance for a successful campaign.

popularity of a candidate, but overall it is not the only factor that influences the votes that the candidate receives in primaries as well as on election day.

political campaigns reveal one’s true character as well as shape it. Primary Colors and The Ides of March both focus on candidates and campaign teams who are running for the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination. Although Election is instead about high school students running for student body president and the teacher who oversees the student government and its election, it still delivers the same message. All of these films center around corruption in politics, especially in campaigns.…

Analysis of their actions through a lens of current doctrine benefits current practitioners by providing historical examples of operational art in action. This paper will discuss doctrinal concepts displayed during the planning and…
scandal throughout four decades of political campaign films. This is very telling of how the American people view politicians, and especially view their personal lives. The four decades were very different in terms of political climate, social issues, and other concerns, and yet the politicians in the films are always portrayed as immoral to varying degrees. In addition to that, they are also always portrayed as having…
