ASOP Workshop: The Politics of Mistakes
A single moment can define an entire campaign—this workshop examines how those moments happen.
Rick Tyler examines how political gaffes shape campaigns, damage reputations, and, in some cases, follow candidates into office. These moments are not isolated mistakes. They are inflection points that expose weaknesses in preparation, messaging, and campaign structure.
Ryan Brann focuses on what comes next. Campaigns cannot avoid every mistake, but they can control the response. Participants will learn how to contain damage, reframe the narrative, and move forward without allowing a single moment to define the campaign.
