Campaign
Team
The most
important thing to know about an election campaign is that they are
rarely conducted successfully by one person. Successful campaigns are
team events and there are key roles that they all need. This list here
is not intended to be exhaustive, other roles can exist and be performed
if you have people with particular skills which can help you.
The Agent
This is
the Candidate's key aid. The Agent is legally reponsible for the conduct
of the campaign so while the candidate is 'public face' of the campaign
the main driving force for actually getting things done is the Agent.
If you are totally independent you can be your own Agent but if there
is someone who is willing and able to take on this role you would be
advised to accept them.
The Agent
makes all the key campaign decisions in partnership with the candidate
and plans campaign activities and is in effect the senior member fo
the team.
