 Just before the governor's race picks up, I am trying to sneak in a few more interviews. In a campaign role, I have asked for votes or for volunteers, yet rarely do I have the courage to ask for money. So I have real respect for fundraisers. It it the hard skilled work of campaign fundraisers who make most of the campaign possible. This is especially important in a state wide race where expensive advertising is key. Jackie is one of the people making DFL campaigns successful, an everyday hero working for the common good:
1) So give us an idea of who you are and describe the fundraising and other political work that you do?
I'm the person on the campaign who raises the money so that the rest of the campaign will have the funds and resources they need to get the votes, do the TV ads, or recruit the volunteers. I help to recruit donors to the campaign, and plan/orchestrate events, rallies etc.
I am very proud to have worked on the Franken campaign this cycle and on Congressman Tim Walz's the last. Both were fantastic campaigns with more amazing candidates and I have been very fortunate to work on both and send two great people to Washington.

On Sunday he appeared at events in Minnesota to do just that, helping rally support DFL candidates Al Franken and Ashwin Madia. Earlier this year Madia and Franken won online grassroots votes for the PPF's support, showing a great deal of online organization and a national profile for their campaigns.
