Primary Challenge

The corruption of our political process has made it necessary to create an organization to overcome the enormous advantage the political parties have in a general election. Each incumbent must be challenged every election cycle, by members of his/her own party, in order to ensure legislators are responsive to the electorate.

Primary Challenge is an organization designed to ensure ballot access for all primary election candidates for the purpose of challenging endorsed candidates and incumbents.

To this end, Primary Challenge shall:

• Supply primary challengers with petitions properly formatted
• Review each petition to ensure conformity to law
• Supply legal defense should petition be rejected by the Board of Elections
• Supply voter registration lists for use in petition drive
• Supply names of volunteers willing to assist in petition drive
• Negotiate purchase of campaign material in cooperation with other primary challengers
• Provide media exposure
• Identify locations for signs in appropriate election districts
• Assist in coordinating speaking engagements and debates
• Provide challengers with an election year calendar

The assistance of Primary Challenge shall be limited to:

• Any person willing to run for political office, regardless of party affiliation, who has never held public office, including appointment or election to the committees of either the Democrat or Republican parties.

The primary challenger shall be required to pay a modest fee to defray some of the expenses incurred.

Management of Primary Challenge shall seek donations from outside sources. An appointed board of governors shall ensure that all potential candidates receive equal treatment regardless of party affiliation.
