State representative and mayoral candidate Patrick Williams is serious about taking his bringing his campaign into the digital age. William’s social media campaign is spreading, and Shreveport’s younger generation is taking notice.
Recently, a young voter reached out to Williams over Facebook to present a share of questions concerning the shape of the city. Williams promptly thanked the voter for reaching out and promptly responded to the questions. Throughout his response, Williams emphasized how important it was to get the younger generation involved in what’s happening in the city.
“We have to encourage younger people to get involved in the political process,” Williams wrote. “Not only get involved, but run for political office.”
Social media has allowed elected officials and candidates to humanize their responses to voters and address them more directly. Social media has a huge impact on an election, and it’s not only important – it’s critical. Campaigns aim to inject themselves into conversations on social media where political dialogue often takes place among citizens. Representative Williams has harnessed the power of social media since he first announced his bid to run for the Shreveport mayoral seat.
For his campaign, Williams’s social networking presence has been established on the major platforms – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn – and he also has a blog on his website wwwpatrickcwilliams.com.
