Running for office is difficult. There are long hours and so much to do in a short period of time that it can often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. That’s why candidates can’t do it alone. It takes a team to run for office. That can seem scary to candidates – where do you find people to help? Can you afford staff? There are different ways to build your campaign teams depending on your district, your network, and your campaign’s needs whether it is volunteers, consultants or paid staff. This group of professionals will tell you everything you need to know.
