Ever been a PAID campaign staff member? (Small favor)
Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 12:02 PM by elcondor
I'm a poli sci major and the last major project for my Electoral Process class is to interview a paid staff member of a political campaign. I contacted someone, she agreed to do it, I sent her the interview questions, and then . . . nothing. I don't have any other way of contacting her, so I'm fucked, to put it lightly.

So--are there any DUers out there who have EVER been a paid campaign staffer for ANY campaign? The only requirements are that you must have been paid and that I will need to know your real name (obviously). I will send you the questions via PM, you fill them in like a survey. You have my promise that your words will not appear in any medium outside of classroom discussion. It will take no more than 15-20 minutes of your time.

Thank you so much in advance!!

1. Good luck....
You will find someone on this board. Hopefully, you won't have to go on the freeper board.

2. I have some references if you can't get someone else.
I'm the last resort, okay?

6. Yes, I can interview candidates as well
As long as you have actually been through an entire election as a candidate. If you are currently running for something, I can't

5. I know someone who would probably answer your
questions. She most recently worked on the Kerry campaign. So, if you don't find a DUer, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

10. my brother was
quite a while ago. He might be willing to talk to you. I could call and ask him if you can't find anyone else. He's not on DU though.

It was a statewide Amendment, not for a candidate.
