All Politics Is Local: Building Relationships with Local Officials and District Offices - RECOMMENDED FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS

Date
August 19, 2019

"All politics is local," a phrase closely associated with the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill Jr. (D-MA), is the perfect way to explain the importance of building relationships with elected officials on the local, state, and federal levels. This session will provide an overview on ways to build and sustain connections with city hall, the county council, the state house, and Capitol Hill without having to travel far in the process.
