It can be tough to measure your ROI on social media for political campaigns.  Your ultimate goal is to recieve someone’s vote, and you do not find out your results until well after the campaign. However, much of what we do on social media is about relationship building. Through engaging content you can take somebody who knew little about your candidate, engage them in conversation, and ultimately convert them into a volunteer, donor and/or voter.
