Campaigns & Elections is a practical journal of politics, focused on tools, tactics and techniques of the political consulting profession. It was founded by Stanley Foster Reed in the spring of 1980 as Politics Magazine: he described its purpose as: "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...."[1]

The magazine is published bimonthly, Campaigns & Elections. The magazine also has an auxiliary publication, The Political Pages, a comprehensive annual directory of political firms and professionals.

Conferences and Events

The magazine also runs conferences and events focusing on political campaign skills and technology. Their "Art of Political Campaigning" is a three day conference taking place every June, covering all aspects of political campaigning. The conference has been running in various formats for over 30 years.[2] CampaignTech is an annual two day conference focusing on the digital aspects of political campaigning .[3]
