Congressional campaign

A congressional campaign is a political effort to elect a candidate to the U.S. Congress, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate. Candidates raise funds, communicate their ideas, and seek votes from constituents within their district or state. The campaign involves advertising, debates, outreach, and grassroots organizing to persuade voters. It begins with primary elections to select party nominees and continues through the general election, ultimately aiming to earn enough votes to win the seat. Campaigns are influenced by issues, political strategies, and voter engagement, shaping policymakers and legislation.
