Practitioners and political scientists collaborate to present real-world insights that demystify over a dozen occupations, including campaign chairs, fundraisers, advertisers, platform designers, communication personnel, election administrators, political staff, journalists, and pollsters.

Editorial Reviews

Helping to pull back the curtains are a slate of academics and practitioners—individuals who have been actively involved in these behind-the-scenes processes, including during the 2019 campaign—who paired up to pen each chapter, an arrangement Mr. Marland flagged as unique.

— The Hill Times

As a first attempt to expand our appreciation of the many faces of a modern election campaign the book is a success...Inside the Campaign ought to open the way to interesting comparative research.
