Workshop: Build Your Campaign Site With AI
Most local candidates are told the same thing: to get a real campaign website, you need a web developer, a few thousand dollars, and a couple of weeks. That's why so many state legislature, city council, school board, and county commission candidates run without one.
This workshop fixes that in a single sitting.
We will build your campaign site together, live, using Stump – a free tool from the Center for Campaign Innovation that interviews you about your race and generates a clean, one-page site for you. You answer questions in plain language. Stump does the code. By the end of the session your site is published at a real web address and capturing supporter emails.
This is a build-along, not a lecture. Log on ready to work. I will be here to troubleshoot with you in real time.
