Since the elections wrapped up on the 2020 cycle, the political shock waves have continued. As painful or as joyous as it may be, we want to take you back to when the (or your) election(s) wrapped up in 2020. This is your opportunity to shout your feelings into the void and have them matter, hopefully.

We are testing a hypothesis. We are working on a 2020 study of campaign operations and the political industrial complex. We are surveying operatives, consultants, peers, candidates, volunteers, donors and elected officials. We are hoping to build a long term study and review of how different people view, not only election day itself, but the operations that built us up to that day. We want to look at basic things such as strategic team construction to tactical operations to how you felt during the campaign to very basic things such as team work.

While that sounds like a lot, your path through the survey will be shaped by the type of involvement you had in the 2020 cycle.

Didn't participate in 2020? That's all good...we want to know about your feeling around the election.

Run for office for the first time? Great, tell us what you learned?

Are you a seasoned political hand? Great, what wowed you this year?

In full transparency, we also want to check ourselves. Worked with us in 2020? Tell us your thoughts. Didn't hire us? Great, tell us why.

We are keeping this anonymous, so we encourage you to be honest. If you want to share your name with us, we can only promise you it will never be shared, with anyone.

We will do our best to analyze our results, disclose biases in the data, and hopefully spur industry discussion on how we (the political operatives / professionals of the movement) can do better and be better.
