1269 Take the first step
The flames in the fireplace kept beating.
Reflected on Ethan's somewhat embarrassed face, he put the pasta into his mouth again, and asked puzzledly, "Does the president also want to visit every household?" ”
"No, you don't."
Jenny complained slightly: "But you are not running for the presidency." ”
"And they're busier, they need to go from city to city, and when the election campaign is at its hottest, they even sleep on the plane, and they hardly stop."
"You must be seen by your constituents."
"In this way, you can get a lot of campaign money, go on TV, advertise, and you need to invest a lot of resources."
She picked up her red wine glass and gestured, pouting and smiling: "To put it bluntly, this is a money game, and you need to get enough financial support to have enough exposure." ”
"Or do you think the billions of dollars spent on elections will be used for what purpose?"
"Small town elections, though not as exaggerated."
"But financial support is also needed."
Ethan nodded slowly, trying to make sense of his thoughts.
It is true that the final result of the election is to please the voters, but now is the age of eyeballs, and in order to show personal charm and proclaim one's own governance ideas, you must first have the opportunity to be seen and heard.
If competitors' promotional slogans are everywhere.
Go everywhere and talk and laugh with voters, and hold one big rally after another of supporters.
And I can only have a few signs alone.
There is no doubt that they will be directly filmed to death in the overwhelming propaganda offensive.
All of this needs to be funded.
Banshee Town certainly won't be so exaggerated, but it's also going to be a propaganda war.
"That's right."
Ethan coughed dryly, rolled up a lump of noodles and took a big bite to eat: "It shouldn't cost much in town, me." ”
"Hey~"
In the middle of his sentence, he was interrupted by a wave from Jenny.
"You don't want to say you're going to spend your own money, do you?" She couldn't laugh or cry, and shook her head again and again: "If you feel embarrassed to spend voters' money, it's better to dismiss the idea of running as soon as possible." ”
"It's not begging, you know?"
Speaking of this kind of thing, the former mayor's wife has a strong self-confidence: "It represents support, and it's not impossible to spend your own money to campaign, but it's a bad idea." ”
"Let's say there are five candidates."
"I spent money on one of them, even if it was only five dollars."
"Who do you guess I'm going to vote for?"
The answer to this question is self-evident.
After putting in the effort, even if it is only one dollar, I will continue to support it later, otherwise the money spent in front of me will look like an idiot.
It's the same as falling in love, the one who pays more.
Often in a passive situation.
"Okay."
Ethan smiled helplessly, "I see what you mean." ”
Then Jenny took out the campaign plan she had prepared in the afternoon from the box, and explained everything to him clearly, until she finished eating, and then she was able to sort things out.
The further back he went, the more confused Ethan became.
He is a person who is very afraid of trouble, but when it comes to this kind of thing, it is very troublesome.
"Forget it."
Seeing that he was a little absent-minded, Jenny had no choice but to close the plan: "Let me do these things, but you have to follow the arrangement and do your job well." ”
"Oh my God, it's good you met me."
"No problem!"
Ethan reached out and took her into his arms, and rubbed it viciously, "But what gave you the guts to dare to speak to your boss like this." ”
There is no doubt that Jenny is now his campaign aide.
Then she said it was her boss.
No problem at all.
Even rubbing and rubbing, Jenny, who looked like a strong woman just now, instantly softened.
It was overturned again.
Lay sturdy on the thick living room carpet.
"Wait."
She struggled to turn her head and said, "The most important thing, what is our campaign slogan?" ”
The answer to this question, Ethan has thought about it for a long time.
"Smack."
Slapping his plump buttocks, he leaned over to the female assistant's ear: "Make banshee peace again!! ”
"What do you think?"
Let Banshee Town calm again.
This was his goal and desire, so he simply made it his campaign slogan.
Anyway, it's catchy enough.
After all, after the verification of the founding comrades, the spread is completely fine, and it also points to what they want to do, and the townspeople who are dissatisfied with the deterioration of the law and order situation should like this slogan.
"Hmm~~~"
Jenny shuddered and snorted, "I like it." ”
As she snorted, the temperature in the room began to rise sharply, and Ethan, who had a dry mouth, poured a line of red wine on the other party's waist, and the cold feeling made the female assistant's body tremble even more.
The crimson liquor slowly slid down Ruyu's body.
Shocking.
Nomination Day.
A brand new black Ford F150 pulls up in front of the town council building.
The sun was shining, and the shadows of the trees were reflected in the shiny hood.
Ethan turned out and looked sideways up the steps, where the election season had arrived, and flags and slogans had been planted throughout the council building, calling on all townspeople to participate in the town's affairs.
He exhaled slowly, nervously tugging at his jacket.
After some tossing, I finally took the first step.
Time is indeed of the essence.
After finding his campaign assistant, it was only two days before it was time for the candidate to be nominated.
"Don't be nervous."
Jenny helped him flick his hair: "You look good now, trust me, they like you this way." ”
The female assistant looked very capable in a black professional suit.
The brown ponytail is tied high.
Her face is still the same large pair of black-rimmed glasses, which is not eye-catching, but others can't ignore her presence.
At her suggestion, Ethan changed to a different car.
The Ford F150 has become the first choice as a pickup truck with a high popularity in large rural areas, and the clothes on its body have also been changed, making it much more modest than before.
The whole body is not more than five hundred dollars.
It's all about getting close to the electorate, if you drive a roaring Dodge challenger and wear expensive clothes worth thousands of dollars a piece to the door.
If nothing else, it is to create a natural barrier between yourself and others.
Fortunately, Jenny reminded me.
Otherwise, Ethan really can't think of these trivial things, there are too many small doorways.
As for the muscle car, it's a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to get some repairs.
You can't always drive a broken car on the road.
"Today's events are simple." Jenny also opened the make-up mirror to check her image: "Do the voter registration, then collect signatures to confirm your candidacy." ”
"With your connections, it's not that hard."
"Come on!"
"Hmm." Ethan nodded heavily and bumped fists with the female assistant: "Come on!" ”
