  Campaign finance Summary
Campaign finance refers to the means by which money is raised for election campaigns.
As campaigns have many expenditures, ranging from the cost of travel for the candidate and others to the purchasing of air time for TV advertisements, they often spend a great deal of time and effort raising money to finance their cause.
Campaign contributions are often provided by lobbyists, corporations, trade unions, and other special interest groups.

  Political campaign staff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Information on political consultants, people who do not work for the campaign full-time but still provide assistance in the form of advice and creative expertise, are discussed in the political consultants article.
The campaign manager coordinates the campaign making sure that the rest of the staff and the campaign's consultants are focused effectively on winning the election.
While campaign managers are often the lead strategists in local campaigns, larger campaigns hire consultants to serve as strategists and the campaign manager focuses mostly on coordinating the campaign staff.

Many political players and commentators agree that American political campaigns are currently undergoing a period of change, due to changing campaign-finance laws, increased use of the internet (which has become a valuable fundraising tool), and the apparently declining effectiveness of television advertising.

 Guide to Political Campaign Schools
The truth, though, is that in order to win, campaigns must be run in a professional manner, drawing on the experiences of past campaigns, learning from their mistakes and duplicating their successes.
Every campaign, from a race for the school board to a run for the White House, can benefit from holding one or more campaign schools to train their staff and organization and professionalize their effort.
Campaigns can and should run their own campaign schools, however, so that they can target the information presented to fill the most pressing needs of the campaign and strengthen the weak spots for that particular race.
