Democratic Gain Creating State Network in PA

One of the things discussed over election night beers and post-election day cups of coffee today – was which candidates ran good campaigns.  You can have the best candidate in the world but a bad campaign will ruin their chances of election.

Good campaign staff can be hard to find – long hours and low pay means there is a lot of turn over in staffing – the good campaign staff often moves onto other projects and campaigns often reinvent the wheel.

Democratic Gain is essentially a professional organization of democratic campaign staff.  Democratic Gain runs trainings and has a website full of helpful campaign information they also have a job bank for campaigns to find staff and campaign staff to find jobs.

According to an email sent earlier this week – Democratic Gain is working on setting up statewide networks.  The are starting with a happy hour in Philadelpia next week.   Hopefully they will do some outreach in Western PA too.  More quality campaign staff could make all the difference in getting candidates elected in future elections.
