Your final product should demonstrate your understanding of the intersection of demographics, polling, ideology, and policy. Refer to the Rubric provided on the bottom of your assignment as you create your Campaign Materials. Post your finished project as a link, picture, document, or PDF in the Campaign Consultant Project discussion board on Schoology by Wednesday, December 22 at 11:59 pm.
