The bit about tripling seats to nine instead of shooting for control really resonates. I've seen too many local campaigns crash by overpromising. Building through authentic door knocking while having modest realistic targets is how you actualy create lasting infrastructure. I worked on a council campaign once that went from 2 to 7 seats just showing up consistenly, then took 15 four years later.
