Every Survey You Complete and Submit Is a Loaded Gun
Right now, somewhere in this country, a candidate is filling out a questionnaire that’s going to end their campaign.
They don’t know it yet.
It’ll show up months from now. In a mail piece. Paid for by the other side. Quoting them, word for word, on a hot-button question they answered without thinking twice.
Here’s the problem every candidate faces this cycle:
You get flooded with questionnaires. Taxpayer groups. Environmental groups. Trade associations. Single-issue outfits on every side of every issue.
Some you want. Some you don’t. And here’s the trap…
Answer wrong, and you hand the other side a weapon.
Don’t answer at all, and “candidate did not respond” becomes the attack.
Either way, you lose if you don’t know what you’re doing.
That’s why I just published a short, three-page Special Report from The Campaign Doctor: “How to Handle Candidate Questionnaires & Surveys.”
Inside, you’ll get:
- The real pros and cons of responding to any group’s questionnaire (most groups offer you a lot less than you think)
- A simple gut-check for deciding what’s worth answering and what’s not
- Sample language for declining a questionnaire WITHOUT looking like you’re ducking voters
- The one thing you should never let happen when a questionnaire lands on your desk
- Why your primary answers can become your general election liability
This isn’t theory. It’s the same framework I use with my candidate coaching clients right now, in this cycle.
If you’re running for office – or thinking about it – this is a report you read before the next questionnaire hits your inbox. Not after.
