Also , make sure that all your ideas are practical and achievable . Voters tend to negatively hyper-fixate on things that aren ’ t feasible so don ’ t give them that excuse ! At the end of the day your platform is all about why you want to be an officer , your passion and creativity for issues and solutions should demonstrate to the voting delegates your passion for the VJCL . If you ever have any questions at all about how to create a platform , want to bounce ideas about your campaign off of someone , or have any questions no matter how big or small about the VJCL ’ s legislative and electoral process , reach me at parliamentarian @ virginiajcl . org -- seriously ! I ’ m not that scary and actually like responding to emails . Also , if you ’ re even the slightest bit considering running for office in the fall , I ’ d love for you to shoot me an email just so we can become acquainted ! In the next part of this column , we ’ ll be going over how to write speeches and create campaign materials , so get hype for that .
