Blog Post #5 ~ Candidate Characteristics

The type of person I would vote for is simple and has the same or similar views as me. The candidate I’m looking for is equal with anyone no matter race, skin color or religion. This person better be educated in how to be a president and know what they are doing in office. They need to have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively to the public. Communication also includes listening skills and the ability to give the people what they want and providing good and positive feedback. Being a president is not easy especially in times of crisis that is why they should have good crisis management skills. Not everyone is going to agree with a candidate or have the same views as them so they should have the courage to make unpopular decisions. Making unpopular decisions is something everyone needs to do at times and a candidate should not be afraid to do so. Last but not least is that they should have character and integrity. The way this candidate  shows their character and integrity will effect them in either a positive or negative way. I would personally want the person running to be a woman because girl power! but if the candidate meets my expectations and needs then I would definitely vote for them.
