How to Write a Political Speech What is it that you want to say? Do you want to make idle promises that you probably can’t keep just to win their vote? Or do you want to make an impression on them by emphasizing their issues as being your concern?  Here are a few suggestions on how to write a campaign speech…
Step One: Begin by not promising anything you can’t do. Even if it’s something you really want to do, don’t promise you will accomplish it unless you know for a fact you can.
Step Two: Before you begin writing the speech, investigate the people you’ll be speaking to. Learn their issues, their needs, and their hopes in you as their elected official. Become as informed as possible about the things that concern them as members of the community.
Step Three: Once you know their issues and concerns, you can research the appropriate avenue to learn what steps have been taken, if any, to resolve any of these issues. If nothing has been done or could be done, find out why not and what possible solutions could be derived to settle these concerns.
