Toolkit profile: Social media toolkit

You want to meet your residents where they are, so that means using social media. But using social media as an elected official is very different from checking in with your distant cousins on Facebook. What platforms should you be on? What type of stuff should you share? How should you share it? Should you reply to comments and questions? What about mean comments? 

We’ve got your back. We’ve got all the how-tos and the hot tips for social media in our Social Media Toolkit, designed specifically for elected officials.  

This resource provides strategies for creating a safe and professional social media presence, an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of various platforms, and best practices for engaging with residents online.
