During the 2019 session of the St. Albans School of Public Service, our students are taking part in a group advocacy project during which they will draft mock legislation; hold a mock press conference "publicizing" their issue; and debate the issue in a Congressional-style debate at the close of the session. Today, our students heard from Terrance Woodbury, who conducts research (including polling) on behalf of political campaigns and helps candidates shape their messages in a way to effectively reach voters. Mr. Woodbury also told our group about his own path from graduation from college to working on campaigns at the local, national, and international level, to ultimately founding his own company, HIT Strategies.
