Is Governing Possible? - led by Mayor Annise Parker

Who are these people?  Communication is your most important tool.  You know who lives in your district.  You know who voted for you.  But who are your constituents?  How do you know?  How do you know what they want?  What if they don’t know what they want?  What if you can't give them what they want?

Once you know your audience, how do you reach them? From a tweet to a presser to a formal speech, you must consider content, tone, delivery, and context.  (It's been said that politicians campaign in poetry and govern in prose, but can the prose be better written?)
