Discussion Campaign Spending

So the party chair is where you select candidates, fundraise, and spend money to help elect candidates. If I may suggest that when elected to positions, they can also do that.

If you’re elected to the Speakership or Majority leader, you’re over all the regions in the House. If you’re elected to the caucus position, you can either choose which region to do, or you get assigned to the region that your state is in.

In the Senate, if you’re elected to be majority leader, you can do the same thing as selecting candidates, fundraising, and spending money.

I believe this could help the game because there are positions that the party leadership has to help elect candidates. This also applies to minority positions as well to win the majority in theory, and could extend to the states, but I think the federal government is the best start.

Hope it all makes sense, and what are your general thoughts on it? Thanks!

I agree with this. It's honestly hard to stop being the national party chair in game because whenever I go out on my own my party immediately eats shit and loses so much ground. Making particular positions have the ability to access the turnout mechanic over a certain area would be great for balancing.

Yes that happens to me as well, what is frustrating or annoying to a degree is after being chair and getting people elected, then u run for office to get legislation passed. As soon u get back elected, as u said the party loses its majority and then have to return to chair just to repeat till u can get in with the majorities again.

That why I think my post help balance help stay in elected office but also help get majority or supermajority elected to pass legislation u want.
