Look at Jones’ win in Alabama. He BARELY beat someone with numerous credible accusations of what amounted to child molesting. He promptly got slaughtered when he went up against a normal R.

Get involved, attend meetings of your local Democratic Party.
Attend legislative sessions, committee meetings when you can.
Use search term, ‘running for political office’ and read
Research your District or state results.

or county council member. Get your name out there and recognizable.

scrub all posts on the internet that they can use against you. Do it yourself 1st, then hire a company to do it for you to double check.

Network in the D party. Become a campaign bundler, unpaid advisor for education etc.

Get a platform and make a website. Only hire IT recommended by the party.
