A behind-the-scenes look at the people involved in an election campaign and the work they do. Each chapter examines a key occupation and explores the duties and obstacles faced by those working together during the heat of a campaign. Real-world insights are presented by professors with their practitioner co-authors who draw on recent campaign experiences. The contributors demystify over a dozen occupations, including election overseers, campaign chairs, platform designers, communication personnel, political staff, journalists and pollsters.
