Episode Description
Whether you are a volunteer, intern, campaign manager, or a senior employee, the public views us all the same: staff. It’s similar to people not knowing what exactly each level of government does—local, county, state, and federal; official office or the campaign side. It’s as if anyone who does anything with politics works in one large building that has GOVERNMENT written on it, and everyone there is, you guessed it: staff.
