which race should i enter

i waited a while till i entered races

i built up a war chest

and kept increasing my influence

well, i think there is an uncontested republican seat for the senate

a high powered dem will probably slide in

also here

you can buy stocks

and fund your own campaign

http://oppressive.games/power/lobbies.php?nation=USA

or you could talk to interest groups here

im currently getting money from the agriculture and christian right interest groups

there are only two two other repubs here and one is running for the senate, and the other for the house, one dem is running for gov and the other for house

there is only one other dem available

the one who isnt running for anything is already in the senate

so he'll run for reelection

oh i see, so its better if i dont run to avoid a defeat?

ya

you wont get any penalty if you dont win an election but

i just prefer going in with a better chance

and a huge war chest

also they have a discord

here

https://discord.gg/mWyu7Dr

is that specifically for the republican party in the game

ya

once you're in office i always chest the Whip channel

and he lays out what to vote for and against

i dont always follow the party line

but most of the basic stuff i vote for

how do interest groups work

http://oppressive.games/power/lobbies.php?nation=USA

find one you wanna represent

and get money from

to start do a "glad hand"

and if you support legislation that works in their favor

it'll increase their support for you

and give you more money

i currently rep agriculture and the christian right

the other ones seem 2 swampy 4 me
