New Book Explores the Future of Elections: “Political Campaigns and Artificial Intelligence” Launches April 25


    West Chester, OH – April 25, 2025 — Artificial intelligence is working its way into every sector of life across the globe, and a new book, Political Campaigns and Artificial Intelligence: Using ChatGPT and Other Tools to Enhance Your Election, provides essential insight into how political candidates can embrace this emerging technology

    The difficult part, says the Author, is doing so without losing the human touch that wins hearts and votes.

    Written by veteran campaign strategist and elected official Michael McNamara, this timely guide shows how candidates at every level can use AI platforms like ChatGPT to streamline operations, craft messages, develop campaign strategies, and even save money on content creation. But it also delivers a clear warning: authenticity still matters.

    “AI should be looked at like another member of a campaign team,” McNamara  says, “but it can’t shake hands, knock on doors, or connect with voters at a parade. This book shows you how to use AI as a tool but not as a replacement for grassroots and making a connection with people.”

    Designed for first-time candidates and seasoned political professionals alike, Political Campaigns and Artificial Intelligence offers practical, easy-to-follow guidance on:

  • Fundraising
  • Writing speeches, emails, and letters with AI assistance 
  • Crafting targeted voter messages using data insights 
  • Creating visual content and social media posts 
  • Avoiding overreliance on tech and staying authentic to your values 

     The book also features real-world examples, checklists, and campaign-tested tips for integrating AI into a winning strategy—without losing sight of what matters most: people.

     “I still tell my clients and candidates that they have to knock on doors, attend community events, and walk in parades to be accessible and to allow voters to look them in the eye, ask questions, and connect on a human level,” McNamara said.

    Political Campaigns and Artificial Intelligence is available April 25 in hardback, paperback, and digital formats on Amazon.com.

 

Price:    $18.95 hardcover, $9.95 paperback, $.99 kindle, $3.99 Audible

Cut it out, and knock it off: Politicians need to stop using clichés

Image
  Beyond the Buzzwords: Why Politicians Should Avoid Overused Clichés Political speeches and debates are supposed to inspire, educate, and persuade. Too often, however, candidates rely on tired, overused clichés that make their messages sound generic, insincere, or even meaningless. It is lazy.  Instead of engaging voters, these phrases can make a candidate seem unoriginal, disconnected, or worse - like they’re dodging important questions.   If you’re a candidate running for office, or someone who helps write speeches, it’s time to retire the corny banalities and start being genuine. Below are some of the worst offenders used by politicians—and why they should be avoided.   If you need a moment to compose yourself, a few seconds of silence is better that platitudes and fluff.  In fact, silence is an effective tool that captures attention.  I use it myself.  Try it! Overused Political Clichés (and What to Say Instead) 1. “At the end of the day…”...

Do I need yard or lawn signs for my political campaign?

Image
How do you know if you need political signs for yards and lawns in your election? Many candidates wonder what the value or purpose is in the signs they see during a political campaign. As I got started in politics, I made sure that my candidates had a lot of signs.  The conventional wisdom was that the more signs you see for a candidate, the better the chance they have to win.  Right? Not really. Before investing in signage for your campaign, there are a number of items to consider. How many political signs should I get? What size should they be? How many colors should they have? What should they say? What is the purpose of the signs? Who needs to see them? Where should I put them? Does it matter if I am running for school board or United States Senate whether I get signs? Let me start with what I believe is the most important question: what is the purpose of political yard signs? When I was waging a "sign war" against other candidates, I wanted to flood the neighborhoods wit...

Artificial Intelligence and Campaigns - Are we voting for humans or computers now?

Image
Humans versus Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial intelligence continues to shape our lives, from customer service bots to self-driving cars.   But it has also quietly entered, like an invasive species, another arena: political campaigns. The question voters now face is both unsettling and important — are we voting for real people, or for personas curated and crafted by AI? It’s no secret that campaigns are largely driven by image. From the first televised presidential debates to today's social media soundbites, candidates are packaged to appeal to different audiences. It seems like some consultants can design a candidate to fit any identity from sex, age, and height to race, religion or sexual preference.   Some of the candidates seem to be straight from central casting. Increasingly, and covertly, that packaging is no longer just the work of human consultants and strategists — it's progressively being generated, tested, and refined by artificial intelligence. H...
