Foreword

When I met Representative Cannon for the first time, I had limited knowledge of her history outside of the fact she was, at the time, the youngest elected person in the State legislature of Georgia. 

What I grew to learn was that she accomplished that remarkable feat, and others amid great adversity and unique challenges.

Furthermore, not only did she win her race in a special election, winning again just weeks later, and continuing an untainted winning streak for the last five years, she was also instrumental in turning Georgia blue.

The accomplishments of Rep. Cannon as the first queer elected in the country, youngest State Representative in Georgia for four years, and currently the youngest female legislator—

reflects her grit.

Rep. Cannon is uniquely prepared to help guide anyone, regardless of their identities and challenges, begin their run for office with a tried-and-true road guide to success.

With almost two decades of political management and strategic experience spanning more than two dozen political campaigns across the nation, I can assert, assuredly, that Rep. Cannon’s Universal Guide to Running for Office is the first stop a political hopeful should make.

For many first-time candidates, running for office is a political labyrinth that even some that consider themselves veterans can easily be lost in. 

This Universal Guide will help give you a competitive edge in an industry and world that is notoriously unforgiving and unwelcoming.

If you plan on running for office, you want it to be one of the most impactful moments of your existence.

The matters are serious, but the goal is to have fun while we change the world for the better.

I hope you can enjoy my playlist that I listen to while canvassing with my team.

These 24 songs keep me energized and remind me why I ran for office at age 24:

To serve and to see a better world.
