A Claude AI Skill that helps any person in the United States run a legally compliant, strategically sound campaign for public office — from school board to Congress.
Get Elected is a comprehensive campaign assistant that provides guidance across every phase of running for office:
- Campaign Finance Compliance — Federal FEC rules and state-specific filing requirements, contribution limits, disclosure deadlines, and reporting obligations.
- Campaign Strategy — Race analysis, voter targeting, timeline planning, staffing structures, and budget frameworks tailored to the office you are seeking.
- Messaging and Communications — Platform development, stump speeches, debate preparation, press releases, op-eds, and issue framing.
- GOTV (Get Out The Vote) — Canvassing plans, phone bank scripts, poll watcher coordination, Election Day logistics, and early/absentee vote strategies.
- Voter Engagement Tools — 15 interactive tools for town halls, petition drives, voter registration events, community listening sessions, and more.
Get Elected is a Claude AI skill. It triggers automatically when you ask campaign-related questions. You can also invoke any of its 80+ slash commands directly for instant artifact generation — everything from a fundraising plan to a compliance checklist to a volunteer onboarding packet.
Examples:
- "I want to run for city council in Phoenix. Where do I start?"
- "What are the campaign finance rules for a state senate race in Missouri?"
- "Help me write a stump speech about infrastructure and education."
