Writing and Giving Stump Speeches

Campaign consultants spoke in a forum on writing stump speeches during a campaign training seminar. They discussed the construction of an effective stump speech, which is the speech used repeatedly by a candidate during a campaign that lays out his or her agenda and urges voters to give the candidate their vote. Following their prepared remarks, which included reflections on the stump speeches of candidates they have worked for in the past, the speakers responded to questions from members of the audience. close
