PG county and Charles County roadside election signs

[Anonymous]

Too many of them...and too many with pointless headshots

IMHO they are not effective, don't even know who is running for what and even what day the election is on; just s bunch of glamour shots along 210 and 301

The head shots are so the Black candidates can let the Black folk know who they are.

I noticed this Driving through MD recently. Very tacky. And why does there have to be 25 signs all bunched together? Almost as bad as billboards. Almost.

I don't think this is reason because the far far majority if not all of the candidates are black. I think there is just a lack of understanding of communication science: just throwing up a sign isn't a strategy

No white candidates do this, so I think it was a innovation by one Black candidate at some point a few years ago that most Black candidates copy now. I am not sure it’s as much communication science as knowing how to campaign and build support. Dropping signs everywhere is a lot easier than canvassing.

I think signs are really important. I never watch real TV, and only signs and earned media reached me this cycle. Signs are a show of support.

I don’t think the headshots are a race thing. This is PG county, most of the candidates are Black. And there are headshots from white and Hispanic candidates too. I think some of them just think it makes the signs connect better.

You’re wrong. I just saw a white headshot sign last night. I think I was in DC. And in PG Rocio Tremino-Lopez had her face on her signs and she has a clearly Hispanic name.
