Minnesotans all across the state are fired up and ready to send Tina back to the U.S. Senate this November. In this virtual campaign world, we’re working to ensure all of Tina’s supporters from across the state are represented and seen. We’re asking Minnesotans to film a video of support for Tina for her to post on social media. We want to make sure everyone sees the broad coalition of support Tina has this November.
What we’re asking of you:
- We want you to film a video of support for Tina talking about why you are voting for her and supporting her.
- Make sure you include your name, your city, and your occupation. If there’s anything else you feel it’s important to include about yourself, please feel free to do so!
- We want to hear why you support Tina. You can frame your video however you’d like, but here are some open-ended questions for guidance:
- I am voting for Sen. Smith because I want leaders who are ______ representing me/MN.
- I am voting for Sen. Smith to keep Minnesota blue because ______.
- Sen. Smith’s response to _______ showed her excellent leadership skills.
- Sen. Smith voted on ______ legislation which I supported because _____.
- Sen. Smith made _____ happen in Minnesota.
- I support Sen. Smith because I agree with her policy stance on ______.
- At the end of the video, we’re asking that you please remind people how important it is to vote in-person early, by-mail, or on Election Day.
Best practices for filming:
- If you’re using your phone to film, prop up your phone somewhere to record a selfie video or ask a friend/loved one to film it for you. Here is an example of a good video.
- Make sure there’s no background noise and you speak loudly so your voice can be heard.
- Try to film your video in landscape mode and make sure there is proper lighting so we can see your face.
- Prop up your camera/phone and make sure the video is as steady as possible.
- We’d like your videos to be somewhere between 15 and 60 seconds long.
- We’ll take care of all of the editing and captioning!
