Seize the 2020 political moment to tout your brand principles
Politicians shouldn’t be the only ones who are using a soapbox and megaphone. Center your company messaging around your primary tenets, and don’t be shy about proclaiming them.

There will be issues that resonate with the public as well as those that only certain primary voters will care about. Candidates’ character will be attacked. Some will tout their experience, and others will present themselves as offering a fresh approach.
News media outlets will rank the debate winners and losers, voters will be targeted on social media as never before, and we will all hear the bipartisan plea: When will all this end?
