Run for Office.
Win Your Race.

All five courses together: First 30 Days, The Message Lab, Call Time Fundraising, Field and Volunteer Ops, plus all four workbooks. Everything I've learned from running and consulting on winning races.

Built for first-time candidates

Skip the books. Skip the guesswork.

Most campaign books are made for national races and don't translate to local districts. You'll also find that most "How to run for office" videos are written by folks who've never actually been on a ballot or won a single race.

The Bootcamp is the opposite: every course comes from the processes I've put into place on races that have actually won… from school boards, city councils, local and county judges, to state legislatures, federal races, and more. Even my own races!

Five courses, each with the workbook you fill in as you go, used as a road map for your own race. You'll also get access to a community of people running right now, just like you. Lifetime access.

Every course, every workbook, one price.

From the Founder

The Bootcamp is everything I wish I'd had on my first race.

When I first ran for office — this kind of training didn't exist. It's the culmination of everything I've learned planning campaigns, managing budgets, talking to voters, winning races — and spending two terms in office as a city council person.

Every course in the Bootcamp is pulled from things that actually moved the needle on real races — not theory, not national-campaign hand-me-downs, and not advice from people who talk a big game without ever having won a real race. It's everything you need to research, plan, and execute a winning campaign.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

How long does the Bootcamp take?
That's up to you. It's a lot of material. Dedicated students get it done in a long weekend, while others who work while they campaign stretch it across a few weeks alongside their campaign. Either works.
When do I get access?
Immediately. All five courses, all four workbooks and the community unlock the moment you enroll.
Can I buy the courses one at a time?
Yes. Each course is sold on its own with its workbook. The Bootcamp bundles all five courses and six workbooks and templates: the Campaign Messaging, Call Time Fundraising, Field Plan and Volunteer Ops workbooks, the Campaign Plan Template and the Vote Get Goal Worksheet.
What's the difference between this and the Live class?
The Bootcamp is the five self-paced courses and their workbooks. The Live class is weekly live coaching calls through the general election, homework assignments, live Q&A sessions and replays, the active candidate forum, and direct answers in the Ask Craig space. It also includes all five courses (First 30 Days, The Message Lab, Call Time Fundraising, Field and Volunteer Ops), every workbook and template to keep (the four workbooks, the Campaign Plan Template and the Vote Get Goal Worksheet) and the community spaces. It's like having a campaign manager in your corner every step of the way.
