Most school board candidates reach out to family and friends to help start their campaign. Creating these letters from scratch can be time-consuming. Most letter templates you’ll find online are generic and not geared specifically for local political campaigns.
The sample fundraising letter below starts with a candidate introduction, followed by specific issues and suggestions for solving those issues. Then comes an intent to run, and a request for support along with a specific, time-sensitive contribution request. It’s wrapped up with a thank-you and reminder about the campaign website where supporters can find out more information and how they can help.
