Local Policy and Ch. 9-12

Nominations and campaigns are in some way related to my project in that they could in focus in part on my project as a method of drawing voters to or away from a particular candidate based on their support or opposition to my plan. Most likely this would only occur on a local level, if at all.

Elections and voting behavior are affected in the same way as nominations and campaigns; they could focus in part on my project as a method of drawing voters to or away from a particular candidate based on their support or opposition to my plan. Most likely this would only occur on a local level, if at all.

Interest groups would have an important role in the execution of my project because the support and funding for the project would most likely come mostly from interest groups. Some examples of interest groups that would support my cause are Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, Friends of Colorado State Parks, and perhaps other groups focused on outdoor recreation.

Congress on the national level will have very little to do with my plan, other than the broad-scale appropriation of money to the states for use on projects like mine in the federal budget.
