Assignment One:<\/p>\n

Why not you? Why not now?<\/p>\n

For this project, you will hypothetically be running for office. Choose whether you would like to run for the Texas House of Representatives OR<\/em> the Texas State Senate. We will be doing the project in chunks, as we cover the material in class, so tasks may be assigned out of sequence.<\/p>\n

Preparing to run: SLO #1<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Know your district. Go to: http:\/\/www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us\/Home.aspx, and discover the district number, and who represents you in the Texas house or state senate. Which political party is your state house\/state senate representative affiliated with? (if you choose to run as a House or Senate representative, check the district that you want to run for.)<\/li>\n
  2. Go to your current representative\u2019s page, and look at the district analysis documents.\n
      \n
    1. What does your district look like (in terms of population, age, education, employment, election results)?<\/li>\n
    2. What issues arise based on the district\u2019s demographics (this will help you think about your platform)<\/li>\n
    3. Is your district gerrymandered? http:\/\/www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us\/Info.aspx?rpts=maps<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Your Platform, and Party Politics: (you have to take both surveys!)<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Know yourself. Take these surveys to identify your political leanings:\n
          \n
        1. http:\/\/www.people-press.org\/quiz\/political-party-quiz\/ (Political party quiz)<\/li>\n
        2. http:\/\/www.people-press.org\/quiz\/political-typology\/ (Ideology quiz)<\/li>\n
        3. Submit screenshots of your results (both surveys). Explain your results. What do they say about you?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        4. Given your results, and your previous district analysis research, what is your platform? Choose at least 3 issue stands to develop.<\/li>\n
        5. Compare your issue stands with the official party platforms of your party:\n
            \n
          1. Texas Democratic Party platform:http:\/\/www.txdemocrats.org\/our-party\/texas-democratic-party-platform\/<\/li>\n
          2. Texas Republican Party platform: https:\/\/www.texasgop.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/PERM-PLATFORM.pdf<\/li>\n
          3. Where do your ideas align with the party?<\/li>\n
          4. Where do your ideas diverge from the party?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
