Campaigning
Canvassing
As a member or volunteer for a campaign team, you will likely find yourself walking through neighborhoods with 50 doors to knock on. As a canvasser, you act as an expert on the candidate for whom you are campaigning, and you go from door to door asking eligible voters to consider voting for your candidate in the upcoming election.
Phonebanking
If you are volunteering for a campaign, or you have a leadership role in a campaign, you will likely find yourself with a phone and a list of 100 eligible voters to reach. Like canvassing, you also act as an expert on the candidate for whom you are campaigning, but the calls are often more scripted and you can reach more people in a smaller amount of time by phone banking.
Financial Contributions
You can also contribute to a political campaign by making a financial donation. Every little bit helps.
Strategy
As a campaign strategist you learn about what drives voters and plan what the campaign will do to make sure the candidate has his or her best foot forward.
