How to win an FBLA election (high school)?

Question

I'm running for my fbla's vice president spot against a friend of mine. We are both juniors, and our chapter includes sophmores through seniors. I was wondering if there are any tips that I should be considering when running for reelection. Also, many of the sophmores showing up to vote will be new and won't know either of us (for the most part). How can I win there vote because they may be a very important group. Any tips to win over the other votes would be appreciated as well! Thanks!

Answer 1

Competitive spirit against friends is good and healthy.  Even siblings sometimes compete, such as the Williams sisters of tennis.  Keep it clean, and let everyone know what you stand for.  Let them be the judge and vote you in.  Then there should be no hard feelings.
