GOP Candidates Urged to Connect Better with Women and Swing Voters
Heather Higgins, CEO of Independent Women’s Voice, advises Republican candidates to improve communication strategies ahead of the midterms.
Republican candidates could improve their electoral prospects by adopting more impactful communication strategies that resonate with women and swing voters, according to Heather Higgins, CEO of Independent Women’s Voice.
Higgins, speaking in a pre-midterm election conversation, suggested that candidates often become overly focused on facts and figures, a tactic that may alienate key demographics. She advised learning from historical Republican communicators like Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.
Higgins expressed skepticism about predictions of a significant “blue wave” in the upcoming elections, indicating that outcomes could be more favorable for conservatives if candidates effectively connect with their target audiences. The CEO emphasized the importance of communication over detailed policy discussions for broader voter appeal.
