What&rsquo\;s special about the M4L Winning Workshop Training?
First-time candidates, local office candidates and down-ballot candidates (like school board) are all told by political parties and the consultant class that to run they need a &ldquo\;machine&rdquo\; to be successful\; they need money, media &\; mouthpieces to splash the entire eligible voter base in hopes of getting enough votes to win through a deluge of outreach.
\;
The &ldquo\;machine playbook&rdquo\; is certainly considered the conventional way to run and win. This is the playbook virtually all other candidate trainings teach. And it works when a candidate has the required resources. \; However, when a candidate does not have the money, media &\; mouthpieces, but attempts to run the machine playbook, they will lose. Often, citizens become intimidated and even self-select out of running because they don&rsquo\;t have the resources necessary
\;
Candidates who don&rsquo\;t have the machine resources can run and win (and do!) but must utilize a different playbook altogether:
\;
Winning without the machine is a data-driven, highly targeted approach to turning out the number of votes needed to win a given race in a given year.
\;
THAT playbook is what Moms for Liberty&rsquo\;s Winning Workshop teaches:

From previous attendees:

"Thanks for equipping our candidates to remake our schools!" - Moore County, NC GOP Chair
"So very helpful though I&rsquo\;m not running, but plan to support a candidate. I run a non-profit this is very helpful for that as well" - Local Activist, San Luis Obispo, CA
"This was an exceptional tool that helped me clearly understand what works and what doesn&rsquo\;t. As a first-time candidate, there&rsquo\;s a steep learning curve, and this process made a real difference. It gave me practical insight, sharpened my message, and helped me approach my campaign with much more confidence. I genuinely feel better equipped and prepared to handle the challenges ahead, and I&rsquo\;m grateful for the clarity and direction it provided." - Knox County, TN Commission Candidate Seat 10
