# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description

Have students develop their own political campaign for one of the candidates of down ballot positions or one of the ballot measures that they support. Have students start with the information they gathered during the lesson on down ballot races and do a little more research. Have them develop position statements, speeches, commercials, and bumper stickers promoting their candidate or cause. Consider using the We The Voters film “We Represent” as inspiration.

Now ask students to identify the different ways their state or local government was involved with those actions. What did local government do to make sure those services were delivered or make sure they went smoothly? (Refer to the answers in parentheses.) Ask students what their morning might look like if they didn’t have those services.

Ask students how their days started. List the different things they did to get to school and write their responses on the front board. They should have a list that looks something like this:

They turned on water for a shower and to brush their teeth. (City or county operate and maintain the water supply.)

They ate a little breakfast. (State or local health departments make sure the food they eat is safe and properly prepared and packaged.)

They traveled in a car or on a bus. (Streets and roads are built and maintained by state and local governments. Traffic signs and laws in place to make their journey safe.)

They arrived at school. (State and local governments fund and operate school systems.)
