How does one apply for running for the Presidency through the Exploratory Commitee?

Question

How does one run for presidency? I heard it is free. DOes anyone know the links to the websites or the address to apply for it?

Answer 1

Exploratory Committees are a device for candidates to announce without an obligation to file with the Federal Election Commission. Once they officially announce they set up a campaign organization which has to make financial disclosures.

Candidates use an exploratory committee as not only a transitional phase for their bookkeeping but as an extra claim on media attention.

It is hardly free to run for office.
