As a first-time candidate, I realized I needed all the help I could get.  I had a good feeling about what Diana could offer me from her experience, so I decided to take a chance and invest in myself.  She did not disappoint.  The information she shares in her lessons and her one-on-one coaching have been tremendously helpful for me and efficient. I do not have time to waste! I highly recommend working with Diana to anyone considering running for office.
