As a Vice-Preident for over 3 years at a night school with tons of cultures I learned who to protect in terms of their interests amd who not to fight so hard for. I was acclaimed (meaning nobody wanted to run against me) for President the fourth year. I am not bragging just trying to illustrate a point.
Toss the bracelets idea, stupid poster, candy, buttons. Use neither or. Instead tack a slogan up on posters and fliers (limit the amount around the school and say "Honesty and Integrity For A Change." If anyone asks you where the braclets, where's my candy?
STUDENT POLITICS 101 HOW TO WIN MOST OF THE TIME LESSON:
Tell them straight up "Who would you rather have someone who bribed you with those things or someone who was honest and told you what they could do?" Point out also "Everyone giving you candy wants to make you look the other way to ignore what I will bring up..They don't know what to do once elected."
Also have great speeches, mention supporting charities, things you realistically can and cannot do and point out other things other people promised before you that you know cannot and will not work having heard that from teachers.
Remember know the role going in, examine what others did befoe you and capitalize on it and look at all the mistakes of the last three people in the job. Highlight it in speeches and show without saying it who the better person is. If in the chance you do not win understand this They were not ready for you and B) They will soon see they ought to have chosen you when someone else messes up.
