Mother of Four Applies Sound Principles to Win County Board

One of the great virtues of the American system is the ability of the average citizen to stand up and speak out by taking office. This is a foundational principle at American Majority as we identify and train hundreds of potential candidates.

Jennifer Grant, a CPA and a mother of four, saw a need for change in of Waukesha County, Wisconsin.  She loves the values her community holds dear, but noticed “those values aren’t always reflected” by her county board.  When a seat opened up, Jennifer decided it was time to stand up and run for office.

Jennifer attended an American Majority training in Oconomowoc, and her campaign acted on what she learned. “I spent 6-7 hours every Saturday and Sunday knocking doors,” she says.  Jennifer used her local party’s “Voter Vault” to identify personal contacts to make and went door to door talking to voters.

Jennifer says she was surprised by how much voter education is necessary.  “I was surprised by how little awareness there was that a county board even existed.” With a local race that gets no media attention, it’s essential to go directly to the voters.

Her advice to others? Networking is key. Find a local conservative group and join them. If there isn’t one, start one. Jennifer says getting the endorsement and support of the Menomonee Falls Taxpayer Association was “key to my victory.”

Jennifer Grant got trained, made the right moves, and won with 62% of the vote. Now she has an opportunity to serve her county with her true, American understanding of governance: Less spending, lower taxes, and limited government.
