As a career political operative/consultant, I’m familiar with most operations involving campaigns, legislation, and grassroots mobilization.
Here are just a few examples:
Political Campaign GOTV, or “Get Out The Vote,” Operations: These operations involve meeting voters at their doorstep, talking to them on the phone, or reaching out to them via text. But it’s also about making the best impression possible for your campaign.
Government Affairs: The job isn’t done on election night. It’s also about moving policy once you take office to make your promises to the voters real.
Communications and Media Relations: You must have the right message to meet your campaign objectives. This takes a proper understanding of the issues and knowing your audience better than the opposition does. It’s also about making connections that will take that message to as many people as possible.
Digital Advocacy: Everyone has a phone in their hand. You’ll need someone on your team who can use every medium possible in the digital arena to win support for your goals.
