Maybe this is too broad of a question, but what does the 2 year timeline of a campaign worker look like? What exactly is happening from Election Day 2016 to Election Day 2018? Is there a campaign wind-down period? Are people relocating for special elections? That sort of thing.

Post-election day to about a month after is never leaving the house as you get over whatever miserable disease you picked up the week before GOTV. After that it’s either (hopefully) a job with your candidate who won, or poverty and trying to find a job to hold you over until the next campaign season (or getting out of the game and finding a real job).

People relocate for specials and non-specials all the time. I moved 500 miles for a special congressional in ‘11. A large amount of national party staffers on both sides of the isle spent their early twenties moving around the country in a lovely car going from race to race.

I did campaigns from 2010 - 2012, government until 2016, and then left for the private sector.
