The West Virginia Candidate Training Academy is a broad collaboration of community-based groups whose goal is to bring new voices into the electoral process.
Its goal is to see people of all stripes in leadership positions, and so these trainings are open to anyone who wants to throw their hat into the ring.
The trainings are 100% non-partisan and will teach the basic skills of running for office:
  • How to give a stump speech.
  • How to use communications in your campaign.
  • How to raise money
  • What to consider when choosing which office to run for.
They are designed for folks who are ready to run in 2016, or contemplating a run further down the road.

See you soon,
