Campaign Workers

After a successful campaign, campaign workers may move on to manage other campaigns, or they may go to work on the staff of the official they helped get elected. For example, they may become a staff assistant, scheduler, caseworker, press secretary, legislative correspondent or legislative assistant, or chief of staff. Or they may become political consultants, contracting with candidates in a variety of different races across the country and around the world. They could also advance into a position with the Democratic or Republican National Committees as a survey researcher or fund-raiser or become political director for an organization or association.
