Campaigns and Elections

Campaigns & Elections is a "how-to" journal of politics, focused on the tools, tactics and techniques of the political consulting profession.

Founded by Stanley Foster Reed in the spring of 1980, Reed wrote: "In political campaigns and in business, it is management that makes the difference. Management of resources: money, media, people. That's what Campaigns & Elections is all about, and will be about: how to manage the hundreds of millions of dollars that are annually poured into political campaigns. C&E is and will continue to be a 'how-to' journal, bringing you the best in strategies and tactics--what works and what doesn't, where, why and under what circumstances."^[1]

Published bimonthly, Campaigns & Elections brings readers inside the world of campaign strategy and management with case studies and insights from the movers and shakers of the political consulting world. Campaigns & Elections also publishes The Political Pages—a comprehensive annual directory of political firms and professionals and the only one of its kind.
