Party Chair of a Campaign
I wish as the Party Chair of the House/Senate Campaign Committee we could continuously update a candidates' policies as I'm going between the poll tab and my candidates to try and make a policy list that fits each state but you can only enter their list once. This means that I either have to memorize the polling information for a state when I'm imputing it or take educated guesses in order to make a candidate attractive for a specific state. My example of this is that I'm try to get a Democratic senator in Alabama and I'm trying to get a candidate with policies that suits Alabama from the polls but I can't update an individual candidates policies after I select them which makes it unnecessarily difficult

Also the ability to do a poll all button would be good as creating a poll for every state on every issue can be exhausting. And more moderate and liberal politicians who turn up when selecting a new candidate as a Democrat because very liberal is very over represented and even conservative is more prevalent then moderates or regular liberals

Thanks for the suggestions.

The next update, which I am currently working on, will add candidate customization to the game. This will allow you to change a candidate's policies at any time. To follow the progress of the update, you can look at this forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1184770/discussions/1/2442587820568943215/

Thank you, I'm more and more impressed each time I look at the game

It's also kind of annoying if you have to recruit 435 candidates if you are running the House campaign, so a button that you can press to recruit all candidates and decide the policy for all at once would be a lot easier.

That is a great idea! Do you think there should be one button that recruits a candidate for every unfilled position (i.e. positions where your party does not already have an incumbent), or do you think there should also be a second button that recruits a candidate for every position (essentially challenging every incumbent in your party)?

You Could Have One for Each option, but if you wanted to choose one, only fill the blank spots

There should be a button for both.

I have added a button to fill all empty positions (it will be included in the next update).
I will also try to add a button to fill all positions.
