I’m running for LSC rep, and I’m wondering if the slogan “Use your common sense, vote for me” comes off as arrogant. My campaign team and I were inspired by Thomas Paine, but my mom advised against using “common sense” in a campaign slogan. What should I do? Should I stick with it or reconsider? We’ve already made photocopies, so I’m unsure!
It sounds like you’re in a bit of a dilemma with your campaign slogan! The phrase “Use your common sense, vote for me” can come off as arrogant because it implies that you’re the only one with common sense. It might be more effective to focus on what you bring to the table and how you can represent the interests of your constituents.
Consider rephrasing it to something more inclusive, like “Together, let’s make common sense decisions” or “I’ll bring common sense to our LSC!” This way, you emphasize collaboration and community rather than making it about yourself.
If you’ve already made photocopies, it might be worth it to reprint with the new slogan, especially if you think it could resonate better with your audience. Good luck with your campaign!
