Election AssignmentSome U.S. House districts, such as U.S. House District 7 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., are overwhelmingly Republican. Drawn to include western parts of Houston, the district was represented by George H.W. Bush, who went on to serve as President of the United States, then Bill Archer, who served as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.First elected in 2000, Congressman John Culberson (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. has represented District 7 for the past 15 years. Though widely regarded as one of the most conservative members of Congress, Culberson had to defeat primary opponents who said he wasn’t conservative enough.Meanwhile, to the surprise of many local political observers, Hillary Clinton carried District 7 over Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.This fall Congressman Culberson will face a challenge from Democratic nominee Lizzie Fletcher (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..For this assignment, you’re going to become a campaign manager.Choose one of these two candidates (Culberson or Fletcher) and design a campaign to win this fall’s congressional election.

Outline the race for them, how much money you think they need to raise, how you will raise it for them, what you propose to spend it on, what issues they should talk about, how you want to deliver their message, etc.Some things to keep in mind:The 7th District is pretty Republican. I see two possible factors that could make this year different. One is the increasing unpopularity of the always-volatile President Donald Trump, especially in a generally Republican district that voted against him. Another is Hurricane Harvey – which hit the 7th District especially hard. Action by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flooded hundreds of houses in Culberson’s district, and victims want somebody to blame.
Cong. Culberson is an incumbent seeking reelection. Read in your text about the advantages of incumbency.
Ms Fletcher is a challenger, but challengers have certain advantages. Culberson has a 17-year record in Congress to criticize. Fletcher doesn’t. Congress, as an institution, isn’t well liked (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Not everybody who lives in district will vote in this election. Some are under 18 years old, or they’re not U.S. citizens. Some simply won’t register or show up. How do you target people who are going to vote in this election?
What sort of people live in your candidate’s district. What motivates them?
What is your candidate’s background and experience? What will be his or her key issues?
How much money will you need? How will you raise it? How will you spend it?
This can be a challenging assignment, but it can also be a lot of fun. Keep in mind that campaigning is more art than science, and that there are few absolutely right or wrong answers. If I asked five campaign professionals to do this assignment for the same candidate, I would probably get five totally different campaign strategies (and they’d charge me a lot of money).Hint: Remember, this is a memo to your client, not an essay about your client. Talk to your client. Do not spend the first page telling them where they were born, where they went to college or how many kids they have – they know this already. Talk to them about your strategy to win the election for them.

Live Performance If you choose to report on a live performance, it must be a college level or above performing group. No high school. You must report on the entire concert, or on at least one set (usually about an hour) if you are hearing a jazz group in a nightclub. Be sure the group is a jazz group and not a blues group or a rock group. If you are not sure, better find something else. Going to jazz clubs in Kansas City is a great way to find good local jazz talent. See the D2L site for club suggestions. Compact Discs You must report on all the music contained on the CD. If you discuss only part of the music, your report will not count. The list below is a good place to begin when you are choosing a CD. CDs must be cleared with your professor if you are writing about musicians not listed below. YouTube Your report must include a discussion of at least three different YouTube videos. The list below will be helpful as you search for videos to write about. YouTube videos must be cleared with your professor if you are writing about musicians not listed below.
Louis Armstrong
Woody Herman
Randy Brecker
Miles Davis
Gary Burton
Michael Brecker
Charlie Parker
Ornette Coleman
Count Basie
Chick Corea

The list above is just a suggestion. Other important people we discuss in class could be written about as well. It should be easy to find recordings of these artists at your local outlets, in itunes, or on YouTube. Avoid best of recordings. If you want to write about a person not included on the list, email me and I will let you know if they are appropriate. For example, Kenny G is not an acceptable choice.
Writing the Report I have included some suggestions below in the form of questions you may want to ask yourself to stimulate your thinking. You certainly would not want to include answers to all these questions in your assignments, but they may help you get some ideas about what you want to discuss. Ask yourself the following questions about these aspects of the performance:The Head: (pre-arranged section or sections)
Is there a pre-arranged section?
Is it simple? (few notes, easy to sing along with)
Is it complex (many notes, difficult or impossible to sing along with)
How is it unique?
How is it typical?
How does it compare with other heads by the same composer; different composers?
What is the form? (12-bar blues; AABA; through-composed; other)
Is the tempo slow, moderate, fast, or extremely fast? Is it constant or changing? (Remember, jazz tunes are usually performed at a constant tempo throughout.)
What is the overall feeling or mood? (blue, soulful, frantic, calm, subtle, aggressive, other) How is the mood created? What musical techniques are used?Improvisation:
Is there any improvisation? How do you know?
How is the improvised section related to the head? (form, chord progression, rhythmic feel, other).
Does the mood change? How? Why?
What is the rhythm section doing? How is the rhythm section reacting to the soloist?
How does the music move toward a climax?
If there is more than one improvised solo, compare and contrast them
General Questions:

How did this music impact you?
Is this music historically significant? Why or why not?
Has this music changed you in any way? How?
Why did you choose this selection?
How is this music different or similar to the music you normally listen to?
Why do you think more people do not listen to this music?Things to avoid:
Subjective reactions: For example: As I listened, I could picture little elves dancing down a path through the woods, while flying robots from another dimension battled pink unicorns overhead. This may be what you were thinking of when you listened, but it says nothing specific about the music. Statements that dont mean anything: For example: He had a round, full sound. This could apply to almost any jazz musician. Padding: Filling up your paper with unnecessary words is called padding. For Example: The first tune on the CD that I would like to discuss is . . . Another Example: You know, feelings will develop, that happens among humans and its good it happens, and I have always said, and I said it again just last week, that you are a good friend, I care about you, and its fair to say in terms of emotional responses that mine has escalated or increased somewhat, and love would not be a wholly inappropriate word to use to describe where Im coming from. (Peggie Noonan speaking of how Obama has been padding his sentences lately.) Just say I love you and be done with it. Students pad their papers when they dont have enough substance to write about. They think the professor will simply look at the number of words they use and give them a good grade. It doesnt work Inaccurate information: Be sure what you are saying is correct. If you are not sure, look it up or leave it out. Talk about what you are sure of. Run-on sentences and incorrect punctuation: Learn how to correctly use a period, comma, semi-colon, and colon. Sentences begin with a capital letter. Poor spelling: The days for having misspelled words in your paper are over. Computers should make misspelled words very rare. Use spell check. Have others read your paper and check it for errors before you hand it in Plagiarism: Plagiarism is using someone elses material and not giving them credit. This is a serious offense and will be treated accordingly. Washburn University has a plagiarism policy that will be strictly followed. Any plagiarism found in your paper will result in a zero for that assignment. A second offense will result in the student being dropped from the class.
