Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

As a new member of Congress, you should start planning your reelection campaign some six to seven months before elections.

However, you have to take in mind that it is your current work as a Congressman, your best launch pad to reelection. It is the work you do on a daily basis the one that counts and people notice. Not your campaign promises or all that rhetoric. No. It is your daily work, the contact with the people, and your accomplishments representing the interest of the US citizens, what is going to give you the real chances of being reelected.
