Thinking about running for office? In this clip from my Fargo Talks conversation, Cliff Maloney, CEO of Citizens Alliance, explains the Candidate Training Academy his team built to take people from knowing nothing about politics to being able to run.
Then comes the full disclosure. They talk a lot of people out of running, because every candidate has to pass a two-prong test first.
In our full conversation, Cliff walks through how Citizens Alliance runs paid door-knocking programs in Pennsylvania, Arizona, New Hampshire and Nevada.
What is Cliff Maloney's two-prong test for political candidates?
Cliff Maloney says he looks at two things before he supports a candidate: are they viable, and are they principled. He says a lot of viable people don't have an ounce of principle, and a lot of principled people are never going to win. Anyone who wants to get in for the right reasons, fight and create real change has to pass both.
