What if I Do Not Have a Good Network?

If you do not have a good network, you can still help. Candidates have donor lists. So do political parties and political action committees. No one enjoys making fundraising calls. Seriously, no one enjoys it. Anyone who is willing to pick up the phone and call people asking for money endears himself or herself to the organization that needs the fundraising help. If you spend enough time making calls, eventually people in these circles will remember you and you will start to build your own network.
