Political Campaigns: Individuals and Issues
Political campaigns are crucial to all governments elected by voters. Whether the campaign is for public office, an initiative or a referendum, the focus of campaigners is to persuade voters to make decisions and cast votes.
Some key historical questions: What tools do campaigns use to persuade voters? What role do political parties play in campaigns? How are debates, pamphlets, commercials, websites and yard signs used in political campaigns? How can a single campaign, political organization or candidate be used to interpret the role and development of political campaigns in history? What is the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission? What role does Public Disclosure Commission play in Washington state political campaigns? Who was Richard A. C. Greene and how was his campaign different from those run by other candidates for public office?
Be sure to consider other possibilities for historical questions as you analyze and interpret your topic.
