Legislative candidates - keep in mind that not every issue is relevant to your race. No matter how much you may like to the raise the war, the fed, etc. resist the temptation. This probably sounds obvious, but sometimes it's easy to get off track. There are definitely four subjects that will come up in almost every race this year:

1. Education (primarily K-12)

2. Energy (for obvious reasons)

3. Health Care

4. Immigration

No matter where your passion lies be ready to address these issues in a competent manner. There are many quality resources you can use for research. If you have any questions let me know.
