local campaigns

Community political efforts

Local campaigns are organized efforts to achieve political, social, or commercial goals within a limited geographic area—a city, county, or district rather than a state or nation.

Political candidates run local campaigns for mayor, school board, or city council.

Advocacy groups mount local campaigns to influence zoning decisions or pass ballot measures.

Businesses run local campaigns to reach nearby customers: The restaurant's local campaign focused on neighborhood flyers and community events.
