Team Building (Before You Announce)

You don’t need a full staff to start, but you need trusted people in key roles.

Key Early Roles

• Treasurer — legally required for campaign finance.
• Campaign Manager or Coordinator — keeps everything moving.
• Communications Lead — manages social media, press, and messaging.

Support Network

• Family and close friends should understand the time and stress involved.
• Recruit volunteers early, even for small tasks.
