From The Political Machine - Official Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Winning endorsements is a quick and powerful way to take a stand on the issues that matter most to a candidate. In order to secure an endorsement, you need PR Clout.

There are many Special Interest groups throughout the nation that hold a strong following of voters. If they endorse a given politician, not only will that candidate get a major awareness boost, but their perceived stance on various issues will be affected.

FACT: There are endorsements that favor left leaning parties (Democrats), and endorsements that favor right leaning parties (Republicans). It's a good idea for candidates to only focus on endorsements that are affiliated with their party (as indicated by their color on the endorsement screen).

List

  • The first endorsement costs 7 points of clout. Endorsements from organizations affiliated with the opposing party are twice as expensive.
  • Each subsequent endorsement costs 3 points of clout more.
